Go first to LATEST NEWS for rules for this class before registering.
Registration LIMITED.
Class offers lots of fun & socialization for puppies and dogs. Puppies and dogs get a GREAT foundation for the rest of their lives! They get used to the basics of being handled, learning how to focus, and learning how to learn! Basic commands covered are: Sit, Down, Recall, Down Stay, and Loose-Lead Walking. In addition, owners learn how to promote good household manners, and how to deal with common problems, such as jumping, mouthing & biting and pulling on lead. Puppies only (5 months and under) also enjoy an optional socialization play group at the end of class, depending upon the make-up of the attending puppies, which teaches them how to relate to and interact appropriately with other puppies and also how to respond to their owners while playing.
