WE ARE MOVING

We are excited for our new Summerland location in 2026

Raising a puppy can be a big challenge, but at Extraordinary Canines, we’re here to help you make the most of this precious time. Our expert trainers specialize in socializing and training puppies using the most up-to-date techniques and methods.

Our group puppy socialization classes, which we call Puppy Elements, are designed to help your puppy build confidence during their sensitive period for socialization. With our guidance, you can rest assured that your pup is receiving the best possible start in life.

We believe in starting socialization as early as possible because your puppy’s critical socialization window closes between 12 – 16 weeks old, which means that every day counts.

Did you know that socialization isn’t just about meeting people and other dogs? In fact, meeting other dogs is just one small piece of the puzzle.

Real socialization means introducing your puppy to a variety of life experiences, including new sounds, surfaces, and objects. This helps them build confidence and resilience, and prepares them for whatever life may throw their way.

Our puppy classes are designed to help your pup build confidence and explore new things in a safe and supportive environment so that you’ll enjoy the rewards of a happy, well-adjusted dog for years to come.
