Why is our puppy class different?

Babies need to be babies and they need to be given time to grow up. Proper foundation, good communication, and socialization are the key ingredients to a happy student puppy, and a well behaved adult dog. Older dogs need more guidance and real obedience training after 4 or 5 months of age. People find the very techniques that worked great at a young age, fails them with older dogs. THIS IS NORMAL.

Don't miss out on the Critical Socialization Period for puppies. Making sure you and your pup have good communication together, socialization to people and dogs, an introduction to obstacles, noises, and environments will help build the proper foundation for a well behaved adult dog.

Each session will be 60 minutes, and we will have extra time for all the questions you have about your newest family member.

This is designed as a flexible open enrollment course so you can sign up for the month you want to start attending any week with your puppy, and complete weeks in your time frame. We are also flexible with the goals you have for your pup. Suprisingly, most dogs, pets, hunting retreivers, future protection dogs, and therapy dogs need to have similar skill sets. The work we do in communicating with the pups, socializing with people and dogs, the ability to follow direction both verbally and from the hands, overcoming initial fears and learning the joys of agility equipment in our class builds confidence and a common bond between puppy and their owner, regardless of the pups role in the world.

In the 5 weeks we will cover:

• Intro to food based training (Come, Sit, Look, down, place)
  
• Potty Training Q&A
  
• Leave It, Drop It, Easy
  
• Agility equipment
  
• Polite Walking On leash
  
• Down and how to chain commands together
  
• Problem solving and Graduation!
• We will also include a bonus "Ask the Vet Session"
