Puppy Kindergarten

Taught by Kristina, the first class in our Puppy Program is appropriate for puppies ages 2 months to 4 months and is designed to ensure your puppy receives plenty of socialization with different people and other dogs. In this class you will learn:

  • Dog handling techniques for a variety of situations such as grooming, visiting the veterinarian and giving medication
  • How to get your puppy to “settle”
  • Crate and house training techniques
  • How to resolve problematic behaviors including nipping, chewing, jumping up and door bolting
  • Basic obedience commands including Target, Come, Sit and Down
  • Clicker training is introduced
  • Proper meet and greet with humans and other dogs
  • Appropriate play versus inappropriate puppy play
  • How dogs learn and how to communicate with them

Puppy Kindergarten also includes puppy playground, giving your puppy the opportunity to play with other puppies and enhance socialization skills.

Please bring to class your pup in a collar and/or harness with a 4 ft – 8 ft standard leash (no retractable leashes permitted). Please be sure to feed your pup at least 2 – 3 hours before class and bring a LOT of TASTY SOFT treats, such as cheese, cooked chicken, or any soft flavored chicken, liver, or beef (NO milk bones or biscuits). The same treats you use at home may not work in a high distractive class environment. Please bring along your pup’s water bowl and a bone or Kong to keep your pup busy to avoid barking if indicated for your pup.
