Puppy training can start at 8 weeks of age.

It teaches practical and social skills vital for puppies to grow into balanced adults, helping them reach their potential, and live happy, active lives.

Our robust puppy training curriculum includes among others:

• Housebreaking

• Socialization with exposure training

• Obedience Cues (release, watch, sit, stay, wait, down, off, drop it, leave-it, come, touch, place, settle, and more.)

• Loose leash and heel walking

• Home, greeting, and travel manners

• Cooperative Care

• Enrichment & Elective Activities

• Resolves common behaviors (puppy nipping, biting, chewing, barking, jumping, separation tolerance, lack of impulse control, fear, anxiety, and aggression disorders)

Basic obedience helps dogs to listen to cues or gestures to do actions, and walk nicely on a loose lead.

Basic manners teachers dogs to apply their obedience to be polite in everyday situations, in and outside the home.

Basic Obedience and manners training include among others:

• Obedience Cues (release, watch, sit, stay, wait, down, off, drop-it, leave-it, come, touch, place, settle, and more.)

Behavior modification facilitated through behavior consultation is a systematic process to help dogs change how they think, feel, and behave towards stimuli that cause them difficulties.

Socialization combines with other training programs.

Cooperative care combines with other training programs. It uses positive reinforcement and voluntary techniques to teach dogs to accept and participate in being physically handled.

These voluntary and accepting behaviors include among others:

• Medication Administration (oral, eye and ear drops, injects, thermometer)

• Veterinary Care

• Wearing body equipment (collars, harnesses, head halters, boots, coats, muzzles)

• Grooming (teeth cleaning, nail trimming, hair cut, brushing, blow and towel

• Being handling in social encounters

Transition support facilitates a healthy adjustment for newly adopted dogs into their new home while addressing any preexisting behavior challenges.

This training may include a wide variety of curriculum.
