There are 2 spaces left in GCOC's next Puppy Kindergarten class. The 6-week session starts Sunday, June 1.

Why take a puppy to school? Instructor Jennifer Wheeler says- “Scientific studies document that dogs who attend puppy classes have fewer behavioral problems throughout their lives. How's that for an investment that pays dividends? 🥰 Here are a few of our current students. You see that family members are welcome, as are pups of all shapes, sizes, and abilities.” 🐾💕”
