LEVEL 1: PUPPY DEVELOPMENT, TRAINING AND SOCIALIZATION

Puppy Development, Training and Socialization is a family friendly (all members including children are welcome) program that will help you get your puppy off to a great start at the most beneficial time. Our curriculum prioritizes socialization, puppy to puppy and puppy to people and bite inhibition, teaching your puppy to control the impulse to bite. The exercises practiced include; "sit", "down", "come", "leave-it", "drop-it" and loose leash walking AKA "lets-go". Common puppy rearing challenges such as; chewing, pulling, jumping up, house soiling and barking are also covered. We provide a safe, our floors are sterilized against infectious agents and temperate environment for you and your puppy to learn in. Vaccination against Bordatella (kennel cough) is recommended but not required. Vaccinations against Distemper and Parvo virus are mandatory. Puppies participating should have received at least ONE set of vaccinations 10 days prior to the start date. Come and learn about body handling exercises you can perform to prevent aggressive behavior, puppy development (did you know that puppies only have 28 teeth and that adult dogs have 42?) and how to read canine body language so that you can socialize your puppy safely. For puppies 8-16 weeks of age. Class size limited to 6 puppies and their people!

Do you have a friend, family member, workmate or neighbor with a new puppy? Tell them about us! We offer a 20% tuition reimbursement to our Puppy Development, Training and Socialization students who "bring" another student to the class they are enrolled in.

Beginner Obedience and Manners is a training course for, puppy graduates seeking higher education for their beloved canine companion, those with dog friendly adolescents, and congenial young adult dogs that could benefit from a brush-up or need a little more practice to perfect their responses. Fundamental cues, "sit", "down", "stay", "come", "wait" and "heel" covered in the early sessions prepare the dog and handler for their use during the latter sessions during which they will be applied practically to everyday situations. Come and have some fun while you learn how to help your dog sit for petting without jumping, walk on a lead without pulling, go to her bed and lie down, stay and come when called despite distractions. Dogs participating must be vaccinated against Rabies, Parvo and Distemper virus. Vaccination against Bordatella (kennel cough) is recommended but not required. Please deduct 10% from the tuition for this course if you have adopted the dog you are enrolling. For dogs 4 months of age and up. Class size limited to 6 dogs and their people.

Advanced Obedience and Manners is a course for people that would like to help their canine best friend reach their full potential. The exercises practiced simulate real-life situations (a la Canine Good Citizen) commonly encountered at home or while out and about. You will learn you how to guide your dog through each one of the complex exercises using a combination of the cues previously practiced. Exercises covered include; Walking On A Loose Leash, Accepting A Friendly Stranger, Reaction To Another Dog, Reaction To Distractions, Come When Called, Staying In Place, etc. This course also prepares the dog and handler for the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen award and therapy work. Interested in therapy work? Come and let us help you to realize your dream of bringing joy to those who are separated from their beloved dog or those who love them but can longer have a dog. Our students have a high pass rate! Check out Tilly (at BTW in the news) our most recent success story. Vaccinations required covered above.
