Puppy Kindergarten
Puppy Kindergarden 5:30pm-6:30PM
In this class, we will use a lot of positive reinforcement and clickers to teach your pups basic skills. There will be a puppy playtime for socialization, along with basic commands such as sit, down, stay, touch, come, settle, watch me, with me and much more. On top of being a dog trainer, I have been a vet tech for over 7 years, so I want to make sure this pups have some protection against Distemper and Parvo before entering my class. This class is reccomended for pups 12 weeks to 18 weeks (may vary depending on the breed of you dog and there maturity) that have had at least two Distemper/Parvo vaccine. Sometimes I will make an exception with the dogs age but only for smaller breeds. If you have a large breed puppy please call me before joining so we can decide which class is more appropriate. Please no aggressive puppies in the puppy class because we do have playtime, call me and we will see if the Basic class would be better for your puppy. In this class we will also talk about different essentials you need to know about owning a puppy such as house breaking, are you feeding them a good food?, and different behavior issues. Class is $110 for 7 weeks and includes a clicker, the puppy does not come the first week. Please bring yummy treat for your pup that can be broken up into small pieces and quickly eaten, nothing crunchy.
Some reccomendations for treats:
Hot dogs or Turkey dogs
Boiled hamburger or chicken
Natural balance rolls (it is a dog food but is easily cut and works great)
Bil' Jack training treats
Cheese sticks
Please do not feed your puppy's right before class
NO PUPPIES THE FIRST CLASS PLEASE
