Puppy Classes

ABC's of Puppyhood

What is Puppy School?
A must have 6 week course for puppies up to 18 weeks old. Focuses on socialization and preventing unwanted behaviors before they start.

Puppy school is a great way to start off the relationship with your new baby. You will learn how to let your puppy know when you like what he is doing and how to minimize or prevent him from doing the things you don't like.

How Do We Do That?
This is done by reinforcing the behavior we like and ignoring the behavior we don't like, using a method of training called Clicker Training. Clicker training is a reward-based method that uses an event marker (a clicker or your voice) to let the dog know which behavior he is doing that we like.

We concentrate on what the puppy is doing right instead of what he is doing wrong. The focus is on the solution, not the problem.

Classes meet once a week for 6 weeks and are 1 hour long, with 15-20 minutes of socialization time afterwards.

The cost for the 6 week course, which includes a training manual
and clicker, is $95.
Payment must be received 3 days prior to start of class to guarantee a place in the class.
