Group Classes
Playful Pups offers group dog training classes designed to help dogs and owners build essential skills in a structured, social environment. These classes allow dogs to practice obedience while learning to stay focused around other dogs and real-world distractions. Led by certified trainer Katie Roppolo, our classes emphasize positive reinforcement training techniques that build confidence, encourage good behavior, and strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners. Conveniently serving Kinderhook, Chatham, and surrounding communities throughout Upstate NY, our group classes are ideal for puppies and dogs looking to improve obedience, socialization, and everyday manners.
Private Dog Training
For dogs who need individualized support, Playful Pups also provides private dog training sessions tailored to your dog’s specific needs and training goals. Private training offers personalized guidance and flexible scheduling, making it ideal for dogs that struggle in group settings or owners with busy schedules. Sessions can address a wide range of training needs, including puppy training, potty training, basic obedience commands like sit and down, leash manners, and behavior challenges such as reactivity or anxiety. Private training is available at our facility in Ghent, NY and for in-home sessions throughout Kinderhook, Chatham, and other areas of Upstate New York, helping dogs develop the skills needed to become well-mannered and confident companions.
