Puppy 1 This is a Kindergarden Puppy Training. A puppy must be between 12 and 18 weeks of age at the time of the first class. In this class, I focus on socialization, temperment training, good household manners and introduce basic obedience. Puppy 2  In this class, I pick up where we left off in Puppy 1 now that the dogs are a bit older and have increased attention spans and learning curves. Basic obedience commands such as SIT, DOWN, STAND, HEEL, SETTLE DOWN, COME, LEAVE IT , OFF AND STAY are taught in this class as well as loose lead walking and NO jumping. I go into more detail in this class and the material is more advanced than in Puppy 1. Prereq. Puppy 1Puppy 3 This class focuses on advanced obedience and the instruction of tricks. Advanced obedience includes instructing in SIT and DOWN STAYS of increased distance and with increased distraction, distance commands, proofing all commands and teaching under high levels of distraction. Prereq. Puppy 1, Puppy 2 and the instructor's approval. Adolescent and Adult Dog Training Class This class is appropriate for puppies as young as 19 weeks of age to a mature dog of several years of age. I focus on socialization, temperment training, good household manners and basic obedience in this class. This class is not appropriate for a dog that is either aggressive or a barker. Prereq. Dog must be at least 19 weeks of age at the time of the first class. INDIVIDUAL PRIVATE INSTRUCTIONIndividual private instruction is done at the client's home and community for a puppy or dog of any age. Puppies as young as seven weeks of age can benefit from instruction and education. Gentle and positive reinforcement methods and techniques are used in all training and education.
