Puppy Fundamentals ClassesPuppy Fundamentals 1 is a comprehensive puppy class meeting once per week for 6 weeks, on Monday evenings. Each session will build off of the prior week’s course, giving puppies and owners a wealth of information and skills related to leadership, puppy behavior, obedience, confidence building, wellness/first aid and of course, socialization with other puppies and humans in group play! Q&A time will end each session.

One of the 6 classes takes place at a different location, where puppies and parents learn about dealing with a new environment as a positive experience. Depending on their availability, we invite our favorite mobile veterinarian, Prairie View Veterinary Services, to join us to talk about making vet visits a positive experience for everyone!
We have a limit of 6 puppies per class. Attendance at all 6 classes is strongly encouraged, and is required for the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program. Puppies must have 2 rounds of distemper and their bordatella vaccine to attend, and should be less than or very near 6 months of age at the start of training.

Puppy Fundamentals 2 is the next step in the process to developing a well trained puppy, into adulthood. Or an adult dog to be more well-behaved! This group class meets Mondays or Thursdays.
During the 6-week course we will teach you how to work with your dog on more advanced obedience. This consists of loose leash walking and walking past people and other dogs. We practice longer stays in the sit, down and place, with more distractions. Puppies learn to come when called from further distances, and work on longer waits while you are out-of-sight. We also work on door and food manners, taking treats softly, greeting strangers and overall impulse control. We address behavior concerns as they appear, answer questions, and provide insight to your puppy’s behavior. The class is designed to be flexible based on the needs of the students and their pet.
This course is limited to 4 puppies / dogs per class. Puppies that attend this training and practice at home every week can be expected to be ready for the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen Evaluation.
