Puppy Manners – Part 1
This 5-week program is for puppies between 10 and 18 weeks old at the start of class. Early training is critical to the development and socialization of your new puppy. This course is designed to help you and your puppy start off on the right paw.
Included in this course:
- Socialization with other puppies and people
- Teaching good bite inhibition
- Housetraining basics
- Crate training
- Acclimating your puppy to being gently handled all over his/her body
- Teaching basic household manners
- Learning the fundamentals of obedience training including how dogs learn by association and by consequence and the basics of positive reinforcement training
- Helping you determine what motivates your puppy and how to use that effectively to train the behaviors you want
Your puppy will also learn behaviors such as sit, down, stay, come, watch, wait at doors, greet people nicely, leave forbidden items, and walk on a loose leash. The goal is to have a well-socialized and well-mannered puppy at home and when out in public.
