Wendy on SVHtube! |
Great
for shy pups – helps them gain confidence & decrease
fear.
Great for pushy pups – helps them learn self-control
& how to politely interact with others
Fun for the whole family! Well-behaved children are welcome to observe
& may be asked to participate with a few activities.
A wonderful way to strengthen your bond! The more rewarding experiences
your puppy shares with you, the more he/she will want to be with you.
Puppy Pre-School – For Ages 7-12 Weeks
Learn how to properly socialize your young pup and help him/her develop
into a well-adjusted, happy adult dog. Dogs who have been properly
socialized as pups learn to accept changes well, enjoy having new
experiences, and are less likely to become fearful or aggressive toward
people & other animals. They also learn self control and have a
great foundation to be overall great family pets! Take advantage of
this early learning period & help your puppy develop into an
awesome dog!
Pups are exposed to new experiences in a pleasant, non-threatening
environment. No punishment or ‘corrections’ are ever used in this class.
Details:
- This
class is given in an ongoing 4-week format. Puppies may begin any week
& continue for 4 weeks.
- Please arrive 20 minutes early on your
first night for an introductory discussion.
Puppy
Kindergarten – For Ages 12-24 Weeks
At this age, puppies are in their ‘Juvenile Period’
of development, which is similar to our teen years. This is a time of rapid growth, increased activity &
excitability, and increased independence. Puppies in the juvenile period need consistent leadership (not to be
confused with ‘dominance’), lots of daily exercise, and training with positive reinforcement. This can
be a frustrating time for owners, which is a great reason to take your pup to classes!
Learn to capture your puppy’s attention and begin the
foundation training for a lifetime of canine manners! No punishment or ‘corrections’ are ever
used in this class.
