Puppy programs are designed for dogs 8 weeks of age and older. Using a positive approach, we focus on training for the pet and companion dog with the emphasis on relable responses.
You will learn to teach your dog to come when call, to follow from a distance, fetch, hide and seek, sit, down, and stand. Plus all of those normal natural "doggie behaviours"... barking, chewing, jumping up, biting or mouthing, and house soiling can be discussed.
My classes are going to provide useful information about common problems and concerns that you may have about your puppy’s behavior.
I will begin to teach you (the owner) how to teach their puppy. Puppies will be accliminated to other individuals, things and situations. You will learn how to teach a puppy to sit and take things gently from your hand as well as pass the puppy.
We’ll also discuss social dominance and preventing aggression problems as well as destructive chewing and getting on furniture. Upon gradation your puppy will be well socialized and he/she will be well on their way to having established great manners for life.
There are 4-12 puppy participants in each 5 week session. Please bring a 6 foot leash, a flat collar or Halti/Gentle Leader, a 24 foot Flexi lead, squeaky toy, paper towels and disinfectant for any” puppy accidents”. Treats of choice is liver treats or your puppy’s kibble.
