This class is designed as a positive and reward based Puppy Head Start Program. Your puppy will learn; focus and attention, sit, down, wait and stay, walking on a loose leash, walking through a door correctly and recall (come) to name a few. Each of the 6-week lessons will also focus on your concerns, like housebreaking, chewing and barking. This class will teach you the reasoning behind a puppy's thought process as well as the prevention of and response to unwanted behaviors. Other essential puppy information will be provided such as dog food, grooming and health issues. The class will teach you the best ways to train your puppy while still living your life. Beginning the socialization process during puppy hood ensures that your puppy will more likely grow to be a well adjusted and highly adaptable to other dogs, people and situations.
Bring soft treats, 6' leash (no retractable/expandable leashes), and clean-up bags to each class. Please do not wear sandals without a back strap. On the first day of class please bring: your dog's vaccination papers (need to see only, you can keep), completed registration form which will be e-mailed to you prior to class, and $10 materials fee paid directly to the instructor (covers equipment and documents provided throughout the six week program).
All recommended training methods will use positive reinforcement techniques. Dog Training hand signals, voice command and a marker word will be used throughout the class along with the five basic rewards; touch, voice, loose leash, play, and treats.
This program is not appropriate for dogs which are reactive to people or other dogs.
