New Student Orientation

Foundation Exercises

The exercises in this section of this orientation should begin at home prior to your first class with your dog. If you have any questions about them, please email us at info@twopaws-up.com and we can give you additional resources.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WORK ON THESE FOUNDATION SKILLS DAILY.

You don’t need to work on every skill, every day. Pick one or two skills each day to work on. Your dog’s meal times are an easy way to fit training into your busy schedule. Children can be given a portion of your dog’s meal in a baggie as “training treats.”

Remember, your dog is learning at all times, whether you are actively training or not.
