Puppy Social

Picture
​
This 4-week class is designed to give families with a brand new puppy the tools and support they need while providing puppies with a solid foundation. Puppies must be 2 weeks out from their first round of vaccinations to start and must complete the 4 weeks by the time they are 16 weeks old.​ 
​​
Puppies will:
  • Gain confidence through exploration and play
  • Learn to focus on their handlers
Handlers will learn: 
  • Basic training skills
  • How to facilitate positive social interactions
  • Management techniques for dealing with potty training, play biting, ​and other undesirable behaviors

On Saturdays, we will meet outside for 20 minutes of puppy play and exploration. Handlers are required to wear masks for the duration of the class. There will be an enclosed space with mat flooring for the puppies.
​
Then, the class will meet online for 30 minutes on Wednesdays at 6:00 pm to discuss puppy topics such as management, socialization, potty training, and body handling. This will also be a time for participants to ask questions and get help with any undesirable behavior. 
​
We have rolling admission, so you can join any time!
Because the first three months are the period when sociability outweighs fear, this is the primary window of opportunity for puppies to adapt to new people, animals, and experiences. Incomplete or improper socialization during this important time can increase the risk of behavioral problems later in life including fear, avoidance, and/or aggression.”
