Is your puppy ready to begin their lifelong journey learning how to live obediently with humans?
This class is focused on the young puppy between 4 and 6 months old. The best time to start training your puppy the human life rules is now! not when the puppy is 1 year old and fully grown.
Over the course of 5 group lessons, you’ll learn how to begin communicating clearly with your puppy utilizing a language the puppy knows. We will begin the development of a clear relationship with your young pup through a guided experience of teaching essential life rules.
A strong focus will be on developing engagement through verbal 'markers' and creating a clear, trusting relationship with your puppy.
When focused engagement is established we can then begin teaching your puppy basic obedience beginning with proper leash handling, sits, downs and the most important command; come.
With small class sizes, each puppy gets the attention they need to thrive in a structured environment. This class will equip you with the tools needed for building a strong foundation in obedience and beginning to have a clear relationship with your puppy.
