Our Puppy Foundations class is designed for puppies 10 to 20 weeks of age. During this time it is critical for our puppies to have positive experiences with other dogs, people, new places, sights, sounds & so much more! The experiences they have during this age will set the foundations for the rest of their lives.
This class teaches you how to properly socialize your puppy to help them become a confident, well-behaved adult dog. Each week we combine teaching focus & basic skills with education and enrichment. Your puppy also gets off leash play so they can learn how to communicate with other dogs.
What will we learn in class?
You and your puppy will learn a variety of foundation skills as well as how to deal with typical puppy behaviors that we do not find so appealing in our lives. For example – puppy nipping, potty training, jumping & more:
- House & Crate training
- Sit & Down
- To Stay or Wait patiently to be released
- Polite walking skills
- To come when called
- Impulse control
- Body handling
- Socialization & puppy play
What do I need to do before class?
All puppies must have the age appropriate vaccinations in order to attend our classes. Vaccination schedules vary between vets. Here is a fantastic article explaining how vaccinations work with the mother’s immunity and how important that early socialization is!
