Puppy and Dog Training Classes
Puppy Training Classes
Concept Driven
Puppies have different goals as they move through their first year of life. ​We use a concept driven agenda to discuss topics like communication, control and recall so you can continue to practice as your dog ages.
​
What this looks like:
In week one, we will discuss the different forms of communication such as luring, leash handling and pointing. We will learn about when to use which forms of communication and how to challenge your puppy.
Socialization
Socialization includes exposing your puppy to different experiences, sounds, situations, textures, noises, people, dogs and more! ​
​
The puppy training class is separated in two parts - training and socialization. Half of the class will be dedicated to your dog exploring new things like water and playing with friends. It is never too early to learn good manners!
Details

​

​
Commands covered: Sit, down, touch, place, look, stay, come, leave it and drop it.
​
For puppies less than 6 months at the start of the class.
Distracted Training Classes
Advance Commands
We really want our dog to behave in difficult scenarios. We want them to stay on the ground when meeting people on the street. We want them to come to us when they are in the woods. We want them to chill out when friends come over.
​
In order to prepare for these scenarios, you need to advance your dog's skills by practicing in more distracted environments. We control the chaos so your dog can find success and continue to build their skills.
Small Group Perks
Small groups allow ​us to practice in a distracted environment without it being too overwhelming to find success.
​
The trainer will meet your dog at their performance level for each command and help you reach your dog's next level.
​
Feedback and requests are encouraged throughout the class. That might look like more playtime in one class and lots of practice with 'Come' for another.
