Puppy Training in Providence, RI

Congratulations!

There’s nothing quite like the joy of bringing a new puppy home.

Since 2014, we have raised over 550 puppies in our Puppy Day School program. Crossbones is Providence’s premier puppy training school!

Are you looking for a place to safely socialize and train your puppy to be the best dog he can be?

Is your puppy showing some undesirable behaviors that you want to fix?

Look no further! At Crossbones, we offer several different tiers of puppy training solutions. Our expert team of dog trainers will coach you through raising your puppy to become an outstanding adult dog you’ll enjoy for years to come.

Don’t wait for your puppy’s vaccines to be “complete!”

This well-meaning advice is now outdated. Puppies should start training as early as possible, before they are fully vaccinated.

Read the Puppy Socialization position statement by the experts: the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior.

Our programs meet or exceed the health recommendations set by AVSAB.
