New Puppy Introduction

Puppy ages: 4-8 months

Have you recently added a new furry family member? Congratulations! Get your new addition started on the right paw by learning how to help your puppy adapt to their new family life. You’ll learn how to communicate with your pup in a way they’ll understand. We’ll go over what to do about jumping and nipping, along with learning some of the basic cues like sit and stay. Your puppy will also get a chance for some important, beneficial socialization or playtime with classmates while you watch and learn. It is important to learn when play is appropriate and what to do if it’s not. 3-10 dogs per class (Min. 4 month old & Max. 8 month old).

Puppy Socialization

Puppy ages: 4+ months

Socialization is the key to helping a new puppy grow up happy and healthy. In this class, you will learn how to help properly introduce your puppy to all the new people and things they will encounter in their young lives. Topics covered will include things such as children, items on wheels, medical/vet equipment, and other things that puppies find scary. While your puppies get a chance to interact with each other, we will go over what appropriate play is and what to do if it’s not. 3-8 puppies per class (Min. age 4 months old).

Greetings

Puppy ages: 5+ months

Does your dog jump on people when they come to your house? Do they drag you to meet new people or furry friends on walks? This class is for those overly-friendly dogs that need to learn to control themselves when saying hello! We will practice having your dog sit nicely to be petted and learn to be more calm while meeting strangers and/or their dogs. Note: this class does not focus on dog-to-dog interactions, but questions about this will be answered (3-10 dogs per class).

Loose Leash Walking

Puppy ages: 4+ months

Are you tired of being pulled through the neighborhood by your dog? Does your dog lag behind you or choke themselves pulling ahead of you? If you would like to enjoy walks with your four-legged friend, this class is for you! You will learn techniques to help your dog stay close to your side while walking. In class you will practice these techniques inside and then outside as you perfect them.
