  • Note: If any puppy displays problematic behavior in the class, we will set up a meeting together to discuss options going forward and as to whether a group environment is conducive to success for your pup! If we decide it is not at this point, there are many other options, and we will certainly be able to figure something out for your puppy.
  • The purpose of Puppy 101: Learning the Basics is to form a training relationship between you and your puppy. We do this by first learning about your puppy’s body language, which is the basis of communication and understanding for you and your pup. Next, we will start doing basic tasks that will help to form a bond between each of you and set expectations for behavior from an early age. Then we will move on to more complex skills like loose leash walking. This course provides your puppy with basic skills but also expands upon them, offering a unique experience for you and your furry friend! I hope you choose to join us at Puppy 101!
