Puppy Head Start is not your average puppy class. While owners will learn to teach their dogs key obedience skills, the larger focus of this class is to teach owners the foundations of canine learning that empower them to address new problems as they develop and build new skills in the future. Through this class, dog owners will learn ways to create a dog that will not only follow commands, but enthusiastically look to their handler for direction!
This class is specifically designed to help you create a strong foundation in communication and training that will empower you to build new behaviors and address potential problems long after you have completed this course.
This is the class for you if you want a dog that:
• Walks nicely on a leash.
• Can settle and relax on cue.
• Comes when you call them.
• Listens to your commands.
• Relaxes during grooming and nail trims.
• Is properly socialized to new people, dogs, and other distractions.
• Has a well rounded skill set that prevents problems before they start!
Puppy Training Class Requirements:
• Must be at least 9 weeks old by the first class.
• Must have been living with you for at least 14 days and show no signs of illness.
