Basic Good Puppy

Getting Family and Puppy  Off to a Great Start! 

Puppies are so sweet when they are young and sleeping that it appears they may not need training!  Soon they will be teenagers!  

Introduce and socialize your young puppy while they learn to rely on you and develop good manners in a gentle and effective way.  They will meet friendly strangers, play with other puppies and see weird objects all in a fun, positive setting. 

Learn how to address housetraining, biting, crates, chew toys, barking and find out what you can reasonably expect from your puppy at this age.  Prevent problems before they arise.

You will learn how to teach bite inhibition as well as sit, come, lie down, off and walk on a loose leash.  Owners will learn training techniques as well as management tools.  Why wait?  Train now!  Fun for the whole family!  This class is for puppies under 16 weeks old with current vaccinations.Alex teaching a class

Level 1  

Basic Good Manners

For Friendly Family Dogs Over 17 weeks with Current Vaccinations.

This successful  method of dog training is based on rewards and involves the whole family.  We’ll cover a lot of ground including;  how dogs learn and how we can use that information to train them gently and effectively.  You'll learn how to teach your dog to be a well-behaved member of your family and a willing partner in learning.  We'll solve and prevent some common annoying dog behaviours and we’ll practice such things as:

Level 1  

Basic Good Manners For Minnies

For Friendly Family Dogs Under 15 pounds with Current Vaccinations

Level 2 

Intermediate Good Manners

Reaching For A Higher Level

This 7-week class builds on the obedience foundation we created in Basic Good Puppy and Basic Good Manners.  We are demanding more from our dogs.  This class has an obedience aspect and a more playful aspect.  In obedience we will learn to teach our dogs to; come as fast as you can! Sit politely while the owner greets another person who also has a dog, Heel, and Stay while a ball rolls past your nose.  In the more playful part we will learn to teach our dogs some fun things like put your toys away, ride a skateboard, ring the bell, and pull the wagon.  It's all tricks to your dog!

Level 3

Beyond Good Manners

Expecting More From Our Dogs And Having Fun Too!

 

This advanced class takes training to another level.  The class is designed to meet the training goals of the students in it, whether therapy dogs, Canine Good Neighbour, Rally-O, Obedience Trials or just a night out doing fun things with your dog!.  More emphasis is spent on polishing your skills as a trainer - your ability to break down behaviours, analyze the current behaviour being offered, and improve your creativity and timing.  We will spend more time teaching our dogs to learn while we increase the distractions.

Some dogs are not ready for the stress of the classroom, some owners have demanding work schedules that make regular attendance difficult, maybe you would prefer one on one with the trainer.  Call for information about private consultations for you and your family.
