Puppy Pre-School to Benefit Local Rescue Shelters

Space Coast Canine Training (SCCT) owner Gregory N. Krolczyk announced today that he has scheduled a single installment of his Puppy Pre-School for Sunday, May 18 at 1:00pm with the proceeds to benefit the southern Brevard County rescue shelters.

Both popular and productive, Space Coast Canine Training’s Puppy Pre-School is intended for puppies of all sizes, from 10 to 16 weeks of age. Generally presented in three weekly installments, the Puppy Pre-School isn’t an obedience course, but instead focuses more on educating the owner while socializing the puppy. It features a Q&A session, a Pass the Puppy segment, an Object Socialization period, and a Helpful Tips section. In addition to Krolczyk, a certified vet tech will be on-hand to help answer questions and provide instructions.

A $20 value, this Sunday session is free, but donations will be accepted. Puppy owners are invited to bring the entire family to participate in the event. Space is limited, but reservation may be obtained by calling SCCT at 321-693-0262.

A member of the Melbourne Regional Chamber of East Central Florida, Space Coast Canine Training is located at 700 S John Rodes Blvd, Suite E5, Melbourne, 32904
