Your puppy's first class! Starting on the right paw is essential to preventing problem behaviors in the future. A puppy's first 4 months are critical for socialization and introduction to new surfaces, noises, objects, scenarios, etc.

This class gives your pup the chance to build confidence by learning through exploration. While they're learning with their noses and paws, you will have the opportunity to increase your knowledge of puppy handling and management for your day-to-day life. You will also learn how to properly introduce your pup to other dogs and people in a safe and controlled environment.

This age is also a difficult time for many dogs behaviorally. If you and your pup are struggling with problem behaviors, it's likely your other class members are too!

Class training topics include:

• Attention-grabbing word
• Nose targeting for recall (Start of Come)
• Sit, Down, Stand
• Loose Leash Walking
• Handling (ears, tails, paws, mouth)
