Home > Dog Training Classes > Puppy Kindergarten
Our puppy classes allow for flexibility, because we know you've got a busy life already!
Classes are ongoing, so you can start right away. You can reserve more than one session per week to guarantee your dog a lot of socialization and training, drop into other days of the week (if there's room). If there's a date you can't make, you can log in after you register to change session dates during your 6-week class.
A study by University of Bristol's School of Veterinary Science found that dogs who attended puppy school were 1.5 times less likely to show aggression to strangers.
Topics: Socialization with people and dogs, problem prevention, problem solving (housetraining, biting, jumping, chewing) and foundations for training using positive methods (leash walking, name, come, targeting puppy nose to human hand, focus, leave it, sit, down, etc.).
Kindergarten Class types:
Our classrooms are professionally cleaned every night before puppy class. Puppy kindergarten classes are held as the first classes of the day so that the room has not had any adult dogs in it since cleaning. Baby puppy classes are scheduled before all other puppy classes so that the room is extra clean.
In addition to puppy class, consider enrolling in Puppy Day Camp for puppies 2-5 months old. Puppyhood only comes once!
All membership levels include a free dog training clicker and an instant download of 100+ page dog training manual. You can also purchase a hard copy of that book online and at Ahimsa in Ballard. Click here for more information on our puppy classes in Seattle.
"Our puppy graduated today from Puppy socialization

Ronald "Ronnie" Vannucci Jr. (born February 15, 1976) is the drummer for the American rock band The Killers. He is also involved in a side project called Big Talk.
Early life[edit]
Vannucci was born in Las Vegas to an American couple with Italian, French and German ancestry. He began drumming at the age of 6.[1] He was a part of his junior high school's jazz ensemble and later attended both Clark and Western High Schools. Vannucci played in various local bands. His first band was Purple Dirt.[2]
Vannucci drummed for several local bands including Ska-Punk band Attaboy Skip who enjoyed regional success in the mid 1990s and featured Brandon Campbell; Free Food, a cover band who played at prisons and homeless shelters in the Las Vegas area; and Expert On October, a band that also included Ted Sablay and Taylor Milne.[2]
The Killers (2002-present)[edit]
Vannucci studied Classical percussion at University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) whilst also was working as a photographer at Chapel of the Flowers, a wedding chapel on Las Vegas Boulevard. He was performing with a local group, Romance Fantasy, when he met Dave Keuning and Brandon Flowers who had recently begun performing as The Killers. He joined The Killers in August 2002. The band would practice at Vannucci's garage and Ronnie would also sneak the band into the Alta Ham Fine Arts Building at UNLV at night to practice. He later finalized his B.A. at UNLV on May 14, 2011 while The Killers were on hiatus.[3] The Killers have released four consecutive No. 1 albums in the United Kingdom, sold 25 million albums, and been nominated for seven Grammy Awards and seven BRIT Awards.
Big Talk (2011-present)[edit]
Vannucci recorded a side project album during 2010-2011 and titled it Big Talk, aiming with tongue-in-cheek at the abundance of music being put out by labels before it is being fully prepared.[4] NME named the eponymous album #24 on its Best Albums of 2011 list. Big Talk was mixed by Alan Moulder and recorded at Battle Born Studios with Joe Chiccarelli as producer. Matt Sharp (of Weezer) and long time friend Taylor Milne were enlisted to help record the album.[5] Little Oil / Epitaph Records released the album on July 12, 2011. Big Talk was preceded by a single, "Getaways", on May 10, 2011. Vannucci was listed at #49 on NME's Cool List of 2011.
In 2015, Big Talk will release sophomore album Straight In No Kissin'.
Personal life[edit]
He married Lisa on May 2, 2003. They have one pet dog, a boxer named Archie. Archie gained notoriety during the recording of Big Talk due to Vannucci's frequently tweeted pictures of him in the studio. He also enjoys ranching in his free time.[6]
Vannucci currently uses Craviotto drums, DW 9000 Series pedals and hardware with Zildjian cymbals and Remo drum heads, his cymbals from left to right of his set-up are:[citation needed]
- 17" K Constantinople Crash/A Breakbeat Ride used as Hi-hats
- 20" A Custom Ride with rivets
- 24" K Light Ride
- 22" Swish Knocker with Rivets
- 22" K Light Ride
Note: Craviotto, Drum Workshop, Zildjian, Remo, Protection Racket (drum cases), and Latin Percussion are currently some of Vannucci 's sponsors.[7][8][9] Zildjian has also produced the Ronnie Vannucci Artist Series Drumstick in recognition of Vannucci's work as a musician to further drumming play.[10]
Craviotto Set-Up: Identical Maple and Mahogany wood kits.
- 24x14 bass drum
- 14x6.5 snare drum
- 13x9 rack tom
- 16x16 floor tom
- 18x16 floor tom
Playing style[edit]
Vannucci mainly plays with his kit set up using a jazz technique with a high stool and hitched-up snare stand. He attributes this to his 6'1" frame, a former teacher who whipped him, and the examples of great drummers including Mitch Mitchell and many jazz performers.[11]
He is known for crashing his hi-hats, skillful sixteenth notes, and a fluid playing style. Drummer Magazine labels them a "few distinctive hallmarks [that] help characterize Ronnie's style".[11]
Vannucci and his band mate, bassist Mark Stoermer, have what they consider a rewarding relationship musically. Of Stoermer, Vannucci has said, "He almost intuitively knows what I am going to play and his parts are so rhythmic its a joy to dance around him I really enjoy thinking up parts with him. . . it works very well for us."[11]
Vannucci was featured on the cover of Rhythm Magazine in October 2006, (where he was dubbed "pop's dynamic showman") and again in November 2008 and October 2012.[12][13] He also featured on Drummer Magazine in June 2009[11] and Modern Drummer Magazine in 2013.[14] He featured in Modern Drummer Magazine in March 2009[1] and in Drumhead Magazine, September 2008 and again in October 2008.[15][16]
Vannucci cites influences such as jazz legend Papa Jo Jones, Mitch Mitchell of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Keith Moon of The Who, and John Bonham of Led Zeppelin.[11] He also lists as influences The Cure, U2, Depeche Mode and more modern drummers including Charley Drayton, Steve Jordan, and Ahmir Thompson.[15][17]

Sports Direct Arena
Barclays Premier League
(Attendance: 52,305)
By Anthony Marshall - Newcastle United Club Reporter
At the Sports Direct Arena
Newcastle United 0
Chelsea 3 (Drogba 38, Kalou 89, Sturridge 90)
Newcastle United slipped to only their second Premier League defeat of the season, as goals from Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou and Daniel Sturridge struck to settle an emotional contest against Chelsea at the Sports Direct Arena.
On an afternoon when the Geordie faithful paid their tributes to Gary Speed, who passed away last weekend, the Magpies did themselves proud, but Chelsea's firepower was just too much for the hosts to contain.
Drogba nodded home Juan Mata's cross with half-time approaching after they had threatened on a number of occasions, and the Blues had also earlier missed a penalty, with Tim Krul saving brilliantly from Frank Lampard.
Substitute Kalou grabbed the second as time ticked away when he slotted home following good work from Fernando Torres, and Sturridge netted in injury-time to put the result beyond any doubt.
Newcastle had their chances though, as Demba Ba twice went close - first forcing Petr Cech into a good stop before later heading against the post. Sammy Ameobi had a shot cleared off the line, while older brother Shola rattled the crossbar from distance.
The game's first incident came on four minutes. Peter Lovenkrands drifted in off the left flank and slipped a ball behind the Chelsea defence, which Ba was on to like a flash.
The front man had just got clear of David Luiz when the centre-half bundled him to the floor 20 yards out. Referee Mike Dean had no hesitation in blowing for a free-kick but Luiz was lucky to escape with only a yellow card, despite being the last man.
If the visitors got their stroke of luck then so did Newcastle with 14 minutes gone. Juan Mata released Daniel Sturridge down the right and the forward strode into the box before being clipped by Yohan Cabaye.
Lampard stepped up to take the resulting spot kick - the fifth United had conceded this term - but Krul was equal to it, diving full-stretch down to his left to fingertip the ball onto the post and away to safety.
Minutes later Sturridge threatened again, striking the same upright with a low effort from a tight angle, before curling a left-footed shot from distance just off target.
In the 22nd minutes Sturridge spurned yet another chance for Chelsea. Once again, Mata released him to race beyond the hosts' defence, but Krul got down well to smother his attempt which would have been heading for the far corner.
Chelsea had created the majority of the openings in the early stages, but United quickly showed they could mix it with the London side. Lovenkrands wriggled free down the left and delivered a ball for Ba to acrobatically flick goalwards, and only a fine stop from Petr Cech prevented the Senegalese striker from breaking the deadlock.
The Magpies were dealt a huge blow on 28 minutes when captain Fabricio Coloccini hobbled off, to be replaced by James Perch. and Chelsea set about instantly trying to take advantage, with a last-ditch tackle from Ryan Taylor preventing Didier Drogba from stroking home.
But the action was soon back up the other end. Ba got on the end of Danny Guthrie's cross to head against the post, and then John Terry - attempting to clear - could only strike the ball into Luiz, with it dropping agonisingly inches wide.
The visitors broke the deadlock in the 38th minute through Drogba, and it was the simplest of goals. Ashley Cole's throw-in found Mata, who dinked a cross to the near post, where Drogba had nipped ahead of Perch to nod into the top corner.
Krul had to be at his best again straight after, denying Sturridge once more as the youngster threatened to double Chelsea's advantage, and that proved to be the final change of the half.
United boss Alan Pardew made a switch at the break, replacing Hatem Ben Arfa with Shola Ameobi as the hosts reverted to a 4-4-2 formation, and the big front man had an immediate impact, offering an added aerial presence and physical threat to the forward line.
On 52 minutes Drogba should have done better when he fired wide, having chested down Branislav Ivanovic's deep cross, before a crazy 30 seconds in which a chance fell at either end.
First, Drogba headed Cabaye's corner against his own crossbar, under pressure from Ba, only for Chelsea to clear the ball, break at pace and Krul save superbly one-on-one to deny Ramires.
It was end-to-end stuff and Ameobi wriggled free of Oriol Romeu's challenge before drilling a low 25-yard strike narrowly wide, and it wasn't long before his younger brother Sammy was thrown into the fray in place of Lovenkrands.
And the teenager almost equalised within three minutes of his introduction. Cech spilled a deflected Danny Simpson cross from the right, and Ameobi fired a left-footed volley goalwards, but Chelsea skipper John Terry was on hand to clear off the line.
Sammy set the tone and Shola soon followed, working a yard of space on the edge of the box and firing past the grasp of Cech but rattling the thumping against the crossbar, with his sibling finding the keeper equal to his rebound effort.
With six minutes remaining Ba skewed a left-footed shot well wide after the visitor's defence had misjudged Steven Taylor's long ball forward, and Newcastle began to apply some late heavy pressure.
But Chelsea were always going to be dangerous on the break, and so it proved in the 89th minute when substitute Salomon Kalou doubled their advantage. Fernando Torres forced his way into the box before teeing up the forward, who slotted home, and deep into injury-time Sturridge finally got his goal making it 3-0 to the visitors.
Newcastle United (4-4-1-1): Tim Krul; Danny Simpson, Steven Taylor, Fabricio Coloccini (c) (James Perch 28), Ryan Taylor; Gabriel Obertan, Yohan Cabaye, Danny Guthrie, Peter Lovenkrands (Sammy Ameobi 71); Hatem Ben Arfa (Shola Ameobi 46); Demba Ba
