Puppy Pre K is offered several times a year. Classes are held when at least 5 puppies are registered. This is for puppies 8 weeks and up.          

 

The purpose of this class is to socialize the young puppy (or adult dog with little social experiences) and teach it how to learn in a fun atmosphere.  This is not an obedience class but will build the foundation for any activity you may want to undertake with your dog whether it be a loyal companion, conformation, obedience or agility.   All training is done in a positive manner. Owners are encouraged to bring treats and toys for their dogs. A rug may also be helpful for the puppy and owner.

 

Puppy training is different from adult training.  We are building a communication system between you and your dog.  No two dogs are alike - what works for one pup will not work for another one.  The class is geared to the individual needs of each puppy and owner.

 

Puppies are taught to walk on various surfaces and around many different objects that they may encounter in everyday life.

We work on the following exercises also:                                 

 

  • Examination by a stranger

  • Walk on a loose lead (not the formal heel position)

  • Stand - stack

  • Puppy Sit (but not an automatic sit as in obedience)

  • Puppy Down

  • Puppy Come                                                                                                                

  • Puppy Retrieve

  • Tricks just for fun
