Puppy/ Adolescent Puppy Primer Class
Puppy/Adolescent Puppy Primer Class- Ages 10 Weeks to 16 Months
Due to changes in behavior, size and strength as puppies mature, it is important to socialize them with dogs of their similar size and age for safety and so younger puppies are not overwhelmed or injured by larger dogs. Therefore these beginning
manners/primer classes have been broken into two age groups. Please register your puppy/dog into the appropriate age group class.
Initial bonding and relationship building through leadership and communication is the basis for creating a confident, mutually respectful and happy lifelong relationship between your family and your puppy/dog. We will teach you how to teach your puppy/dog to be confident and well behaved in your household along with a variety of
circumstances and settings. With an
emphasis on fun and learning, the following items will be covered in this
class:
Building a foundation for learning – having a plan
Using rewards (Treats, Toys, Praise)
House breaking/Potty Training, Crate Training
Chewing, Biting, Teething
Confidence and skill building through appropriate socialization
Basic Skills (Come, Sit, Stay, Loose Leash Walking)
Feeding & Exercise requirements
Containment and Safety (House, Car, Yard, Visiting & Vacationing with your dog)
Addressing problem behaviors as they arise
