About Furst Steps: Puppy Education, Training & Socialization

Furst Steps is here to teach and guide puppies & pet owners through the tough stages of puppyhood by providing services and a helping hand regarding proper nutrition, chews/treats, toys, training, socialization, and more. Our training programs are science-based, positive focused and taught by a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA). Socialization is so much more than just meeting new people and other dogs and we want to help show you why it makes a difference. We incorporate your puppy’s five senses into our program before, during and after their Critical Socialization Period to help ensure they will be well-socialized & well-rounded dogs. We are here to give your puppy positive, enriching, and exciting experiences.

I am so glad I found Furst Steps. They are worth every penny in my book. Alex, Jay, and their team are wonderful humans that truly care about your dog. When I "furst" started with them, my Shepherd mix was pretty nervous and lacked confidence. With the work they do paired with putting in the time at home, she's growing into a playful happy pup ready to explore the world. I'm so grateful for their methods of socialization and time they give to each dog. If you're looking for a place to help your dog have an easier time in this big world, bring em here!!

Deceitful marketing. Wouldn’t honor a “Black Friday” special when I called and tried to purchase on Black Friday-told me they were closed, and I was a longstanding customer who had given their business thousands of dollars. Owner was rude when I asked him about it. Facility smells horrible-they don’t deep clean often enough. My dog would come home smelling like the facility and would need a bath just not to smell like he had been at daycare. Otherwise a cute place that does cute themes and photo ops. The woman who works in the Farmers Barket is lovely as well.

There are not enough good words i can say about this school! We have been taking our deaf aussie doodle for the kindergarten classes and the level of training is awesome. He's so happy and excited to go that every morning he jumps in his car seat all excited to go. Unfortunately for him it's only 2 days a week. And a great price for what you get. Plus they are connected to the barket which has everything you need and things you didn't know you needed. If you're thinking about a puppy, have a puppy, or have a dog that needs an amazing daycare, look no further. Your pup will love it!
