Six weeks of pure fun, positive learning, and essential socialization for very young puppies - and their families!

This is the most important class your puppy will ever take!Your puppy's first months are the most critical for establishing good habits and preventing future behavior problems. Each week, the course will cover a combination of puppy level commands, opportunities to socialize in off-leash play time, educational lectures combined with sessions to answer your questions.

This early education class will also emphasize:
~Essential good manners training, including Sit, Down, Settle/Relax, Stay, Leave It, Give/Drop It,
~Leash Manners
~Come When Called
~Tips for establishing proper housetraining and chewing habits
~How to cope with your young pup's play biting/mouthing/nipping
~Jumping up/over-exuberance when meeting people, will also be discussed

The first class is essential education for human family members only (no puppies this first class only), designed to give you crucial problem solving and training skills that will set you and your puppy up for a successful training experience. Your puppy attends classes 2 - 6.

All family members (including older children over 7 years of age) are encouraged to attend and participate in the training. We provide helpful reference materials to round out your own education, along with homework for you and your puppy to practice outside of class to maximize your learning experience.

Please note: This class is for young puppies up to 5 months (Toy & Small breed puppies up to 6 months may also enroll.)

~Focusing attention on you and listening to you upon request
~Impulse control around easy distractions
~Courteously greeting visitors (no jumping up or wild displays at the front door)
~A solid foundation for a reliable "Come when called"
~"Wait" to help prevent barging through open doorways or car doors
~Polite leash manners (or how to walk your dog without dislocating your shoulder!)
~We'll even show you how to teach your dog a fun trick or two!
