It is very important to begin training your new puppy so that it learns its place in the family and learns acceptable behavior.  Our Puppy Kindergarten class is the first step towards turning your precocious puppy into a well-mannered dog.  We accept puppies from 8 weeks to 5 months for this class.  The group class itself runs 6 weeks and covers almost every aspect of puppyhood.

In Puppy Kindergarten, your puppy will learn the following commands: Heel Sit Stay Down Come Leash walking Wait at door We will also work on all types of behavior modification to solve such problem areas as (but not limited to): Housebreaking Jumping on people Chewing Biting Mouthing Running Away Socialization Fears Agression As well as numerous other behaviors

Through positive reinforcement, consisting of praise and reward, your puppy will quickly learn a great deal.  At the same time, you will learn a great deal about your puppy and will form an important bond that will last well beyond the 6 week course.

PUPPY  COLLEGE  2 - 3 hour class sessions.  Puppy obedience and behavior class.
This course is designed for a Puppy’s mom or dad that would like to be able to do a six week program in only 2 sessions.  This class will be held Saturday in two 3 hour sessions two weeks apart.  The first 3 hour  session will cover what would normally be weeks 1,2, & 3 of the puppy course all during this first 3 hour session.)  We will skip a week in order to allow you time to practice and progress your dog, then you will attend the final Saturday 3 hour session, which covers what would normally be weeks 4,5 and 6 of the puppy class.

The advantage of this course is travel times and gas with the rising costs of fuel.  2 - three hour class sessions versus 6 weekly 1 hour sessions. 

The course would start at 1 pm sharp and finish at 4 pm. Of course your puppy would come with you and attend each of  the Sessions. Our simply click on the registration link and just fill out the info.  Reserve Now!
