PUPPY
Prep Your Puppy's Life Skills!
Puppy Class is more casual than classes for older dogs, and specifically geared to begin socializing your puppy, both passively and actively. Depending on your puppy's group dynamics, your puppy may get to engage, appropriately and gently supervised, with other puppies in the group.
In your puppy's class you and your puppy will learn to pay attention to each other! Name recognition and attention training are the foundation of all exercises you and your puppy will be learning.
YOU will become a better handler of your puppers!
There will be considerable time allotted to any questions you and your family may have.
Once completed, you and your puppy then go on to the Adult Group Class.
Get your puppy started on the correct paw from the very beginning!
ADULT
Achieve Training Skills for a Lifetime!
For dogs 6 months of age and *over, these classes work specifically to teaching your dog to pay attention to you and to ignore the distraction of other dogs in the group.
A heavy emphasis on name recognition and attention training are foundation skills your dog will be learning.
Get your dog educated right from the start - and learn about body language (both canine and human) to help your puppers be successful in your home for life!
*Any age can learn new skills - the oldest puppers Sunpaws ever had in class was 14 years old!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLASS:
Bring your puppers on a well fitting buckle collar or martingale collar and a 4 or 6 foot leash. please no retractable leash!
Have a mixture of small treats in a baggie. Soft, squishy, aromatic are good - no dry milk bone-style types.
Please do not let your dog greet other dogs. Introductions can be made once everyone is settled in.
Park anyplace in front/around the building where there's gravel. There is a portapotty on site for humans.
