This lively and energetic program is great for both puppies and owners. In this program your puppy will learn the importance of socialization to other dogs, people, and objects while developing proper social skills and good play behaviours in a safe and motivational environment. Course content includes an introduction to basic commands. Behaviours such as house training, bite inhibition, jumping up, as well as other topics such as grooming, health and nutrition are discussed.

Each course is 6 weeks long. Each course is comprised of 6 one hour classes at the same day and time that you have selected unless otherwise noted.

One-week notice prior to the date of the first class is required for cancellations or refunds. We are unable to provide refunds once classes have started.

The focus of beginner training is to learn everyday basic life skill exercises such as sit, stay, down, come when called, and proper leash handling methods while incorporating varying degrees distractions. This means that the dog must learn to pay attention to you under many situations. We use food, praise and play along with scientific learning principles to teach your dog how to achieve these goals. Teaching your dog to respond to various hand and voice signals will make life easier for you, your guests, the veterinarian and others. Each course is 6 weeks long and comprised of 6 one hour classes at the same day and time that you have selected unless otherwise noted.

Prerequisite: Your dog must be over 5 1/2 months of age in order to register and attend this course. No choke chains, martingales or pinch collars. Bring food, a  mat and a chew for your dog to eat while it is resting

Class size maximum is 8 dogs.
