Puppy Foundations
For puppies 10 weeks of age to 5 months
​
During this course, your puppy will learn basic manners through only positive reinforcement, helping to provide a stronger canine-animal bond. This is a seven week course over which your puppy will learn basic concepts such as focus, sit, down, wait, recall, and loose leash walking. This is also an opportunity for your puppy to meet new people, dogs, and distractions. At the end of this course, you will leave with a better understanding on what it takes to communicate with your four legged friend and what common mistakes we make as owners that can hinder training. Training is life-long but this course will help set you up for success!
