Play Hard, Train Happy

Puppies need socialization to become good, well-rounded dogs.
Lyndsey from Obedient Blue School for Dogs is here to help!

Play Hard, Train Happy sessions are open to JVC clients only. Puppies must be between 12 weeks and 6 months and have their Bordetella and first DA2PP vaccines.
