CCI Puppy Classes


CCI Puppy Classes in the Capital Chapter Area
   
dogs at a CCI class CCI requires that CCI puppies be enrolled in obedience classes.  Puppies start puppy kindergarten by 12-16 weeks of age and progress through basic and advanced basic classes.  Raisers can attend classes offered by a variety of community venues: private trainers, recreation departments, dog training clubs, CCI organized classes, etc.
   
CCI Capital area puppy raisers are fortunate to have volunteer trainers who teach special CCI focused puppy classes. These classes are offered both in Maryland and Virginia.

Maryland classes are held at the Capital Dog Training Club in Silver Spring, Maryland every Friday at 7:15 pm. This class is a drop-in class and puppy raisers can attend as often as they'd like.  To sign up for email notification of class updates and cancellations for classes at CDTC, write to lilian.bruch@verizon.net

For more information about the Capital Dog Training Club, visit www.cdtc.org.  Directions are available to CDTC by clicking on "directions".

Virginia classes are currently held at the Pender Vet Clinic in Fairfax, VA. This location is near the Fair Oaks Mall. Classes are held on designated Thursdays, 7:30p.m. top 8:30 p.m. with field trips on the third Thursdays of each month.  Check the calendar page for the current schedule.  Fee for the class is dependent on the number of class participants.  Please contact Nancy Cunningham at 703-250-3299 for more information.
