These classes have been designed to help you obtain the best possible puppy/dog! The early months of life are crucial to your puppy's development, both physically and mentally. These classes focus on teaching puppy/dog owners positive methods of getting the behavior they want. Classes are for all size and breeds of puppies (both mixed and pure bred and from toy, small, medium, large, to giant sized breeds). A well Trained Dog is more likely to remain in it's family home versus ending up in a Shelter or back with it's Breeder.
Owners are educated on the importance of balancing proper Management, Mental Stimulation, Age Appropriate Physical Exercise, Training, Socialization, along with teaching their puppy how to chill (important pieces to a creating a puppy/dog you, your family, and others can enjoy).
Allows an Experienced Trainer see any Red Flags of concern and point them out early, to allow you to be aware and come up with an action plan.
Training begins by using hand signals first, once puppy/dog fully understands the hand signal and owners are standing in a normal upright position, verbal cues are then added. This enables owners to give their verbal cues once, versus repeat cues that the puppy/dog would learn to ignore. We teach owners to be able to get and maintain their puppy's/dog's attention with distractions. Owners are taught how to use rewards (treats, toys, play, and praise) properly to motivate their puppy/dog.
Curriculum: Please remember these Group Training Classes are a set Curriculum - Training Plan/Program each week, as a Group Training Class, these are not Private Training Sessions. These Classes do not cover Behavior Issues outside the scope of the Group Training Class Program. Physical Group In Person Classes are not appropriate for Puppies/Dogs with Puppy/Dog or Human Reactivity and/or Aggression Issues.
