Your puppy’s first lessons are important ones.
He has to learn to love the whole wide world — and learn how to sit, too.
It would also be great if he wouldn’t chew your shoes — or eat your reading glasses.
​Do not wait — start your youngster while he is still young — during the critical socialization window.
Socialization now will help keep your dog from becoming timid or aggressive towards other dogs or people and gives them self confidence.
Experienced dog owners can tell you that early training is one of the best ways to socialize your puppy during this important time of adjustment and development.
Training can typically start as soon as soon as your puppy has completed the second round of vaccines (with the approval of your veterinarian), which can be as early as eight weeks.
AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy (Socialization, Training, Activity, and Responsibility) is the perfect place to start.
It’s never too early to start training!
The earlier you start, the more likely you’ll raise a well-mannered, loyal, happy dog.
Our program is appropriate for puppies of all breeds under 6 months old.
The AKC STAR Puppy Training group class is a great way to get started with training your dog(s) for the foundations of a well-rounded and well-behaved dog.
It’s a great place to start especially if you've never raised a puppy or it's been a long time since you have.
We’ll work on obedience basics while also addressing some of the less adorable aspects of having a puppy: all the biting, barking, chewing, peeing, and excess energy.
And we’ll work to avoid pesky future problems like jumping and pulling.
Add in plenty of socialization to avoid more serious ones like fear and aggression, and you’ve got a great puppy class.
Oh, and we’ll have tons of fun, too!
We’re experts at running classes that are equal parts fun and results. If it didn’t sound like outright bragging we’d say we’re proud to have set the standard for top notch puppy classes in Metro Detroit. Come learn with us!
Our puppy classes lay the foundation for a great adult dog—one who loves to (politely!) meet new dog and human friends, and who actually listens to you!
Learn in a fun environment alongside other dog lovers like yourself.
We keep class sizes small so we can get to know each of our students—human and canine—and provide individualized attention for faster results.
Our instructors are puppy experts and experienced teachers. We’ve been honing our craft for years and we know how to make learning fun and effective.
From the chewing and biting and peeing and crying and just general crazy puppy energy. In short, we’ll help you navigate the challenges of puppyhood.

"The staff is very kind, helpful and have taught me a lot. My pup was a little afraid the first couple of weeks but I would still keep up with training him at home and when he started to open up during class I was able to get feedback on how I should be training him from the staff. It's so important to keep up the training at home so that your pup can get good results from the class. Enrolling in the group obedience class has been great. I know if I ever need a doggy daycare or one on one training I will be going with Clever Canine."
"We loved Clever Canine Dog Training. We loved the constructive feedback and consistency of the class. They were so friendly and did the best for each pup!"
"These guys are the best! They go above and beyond to make sure that your dog ( and you) get the training that you need. I would recommend Clever Canine to anyone!"
