• Puppy Parties - $15 - 7pm-9pm on the first Friday of every month - The Brooklyn Dog Training Center hosts monthly puppy parties for pups under six months of age (and their humans).

Parties will be supervised by Renee or Sarah from the BDTC. Pre-registration through the BDTC site is required. Click here to reserve your space. Check us out on NBC's Today Show.
