Class Overview: 
The two most important things we can teach puppies is bite inhibition and how to get along with other dogs and humans. We often lump all puppy training into the category of socialization, but nobody ever tells owners exactly what that means. In this puppy class for puppies ages 12 weeks to 6 months, you will learn how to introduce your puppy to new people, places, things, other animals, and children. The classes are fun for owners and the puppies. We teach the class off-leash so the puppies can play and teach each other bite inhibition.

Payment: 

Preregistration with payment is required.  Registration fee is non-refundable.  Please inform instructor if you know in advance that you will miss a particular class.  You are encouraged to arrange with your instructor to get the homework for that class.  We want you and your dog to be a successful team!

CLASS OVERVIEW:

Equivalent to an intermediate obedience class, this program is a non-competitive program open to all dogs, purebred and mixed breeds alike. It tests your dog on the ten essential skills every well-mannered dog should know. To prepare for taking the AKC Canine Good Citizen test, we offer a specialty class. Dogs and their owners will be  introduced to and will train for the ten essential skills on the CGC test.

Therapy dogs locally must have passed the Canine Good Citizen test to start visiting nursing homes and hospitals.
