Our puppy classes cover sitting, walking, recall, crate training, socializing and engagement for dogs between eight and 16 weeks old.

General Curriculum

We only accept six puppies per class to ensure quality attention is given to each participant. The class is four weeks long, and our curriculum includes introductions to:

• Drive building and engagement: Motivate your puppy to complete tasks.
• Marking, luring and reward: Teach your dog to follow commands.
• Socialization: Introduce your puppy to new experiences so they can learn to feel comfortable around people and animals. Puppy socialization is critical for their development.
• Crate training: Encourage your furry friend to feel calm and secure in a dog crate, which helps with housetraining and traveling.
• “Place” training: Tell your puppy to visit a designated spot and stay there until released.
• General safety and health review: Learn an overview of your dog’s needs and how to identify health concerns.
• Recall: Train your puppy to come to you when you call their name, even when they’re distracted.
• Loose leash walking: Have your fur baby practice walking on a leash without pulling or tension.
• Leave it: Teach your puppy an essential cue to leave something alone.

Each class will have corresponding homework and handouts. Any participant will receive a 10% discount on standard training packages.
