Puppy Socialization Group Training

Price: $200 (4 half hour classes at $50 each)

​

Our Puppy Socialization Class is designed for dogs 10 to 16 weeks of age and focuses on routines that will help your puppy adapt to his new environment. Puppies have very short attention spans and get tired quickly so we don’t want to work them for more than a half hour at a time. Our group classes are small with no more than 5 dogs per class. Any level of obedience training requires patience and persistence and it is the student’s responsibility to take time to practise.

  • My puppy is jumping up on people 

  • My puppy is nipping and biting at family and friends 

  • My puppy is chewing our shoes 

  • My puppy is becoming possessive of his toys and food

Basic Obedience Group Training

Our Practical Basic Obedience focuses on routines that you will need and use every day throughout your dog’s life. You will learn proper handling techniques to help you gain control of your dog. Routines such as heel, sit, stay, down and recall (come when called) will be covered throughout our basic program. You will also learn how to teach your dog to sit automatically and have them respond to you without constantly using treats. These classes are suitable for dogs over 5 months of age.  This basic obedience training course outline is meant to be a guideline only.  Any level of obedience training requires patience and persistence and it is the student’s responsibility to take time to practise.  A well behaved dog takes work and a dog is only as good as it’s handler.
