Our puppy classes are highly recommended by many area veterinarians. We sanitize our floors with Trifectant to kill dangerous bacteria and viruses that young puppies are susceptible to, making our classes some of the safest in town!  Our puppy classes are taught by trainers who have experience raising puppies and teaching puppy owners how to raise happy, well-mannered puppies. You'll learn basic manners, get help in socializing your puppy and learn about bite inhibition, handling, housetraining, resource guarding, and more!

"I can't tell you how grateful we are that we discovered Buddy's Chance! we have a Christmas puppy and signed him up for Manners Class. We just finished the introductory Puppy Classes and they were just incredible in giving our dog the perfect start to his life with us. We can't wait to start Manners classes with him. Among the many great things about Buddy's Chance is how brilliant Cara and wonderful Sue don't teach just specific behaviors, but give you an overview and an understanding of dogs and training so that you will be able to work with your dog on any situation that might come up. Best training for your dog available in Austin. Good scheduling system. Really reasonably priced. . . . Cons: Wish Buddy's chance had been around when our older dog was a puppy."  Click here to read the full review

"We have been bringing our now 4 and 1/2 month old puppy Chai to the puppy classes at Buddy's Chance for about 1 and 1/2 months and have been very happy with the services! Being first time dog owners, my husband and I weren't really sure what puppy behavior was normal versus problematic, so Cara and Sue's consistent advice has been very helpful!"  Click here to read the full review
