PUPPY PRE-SCHOOL- ONLY PUPPIES 4 MONTHS OR YOUNGER AS OF THE FIRST CLASS DATE. This is a perfect age to provide your puppy play-time opportunity to interact with other puppies so they can learn APPROPRIATE body language and interact correctly with other dogs. We will work on some foundation behaviours but the class is designed for socialization and normal "puppy" issues; mouthing/nipping, jumping, housebreaking, etc. This is a great beginning for the young pup - but it does not replace the FUNdamentals class - if you can only attend one session the Fundamentals class would provide more basic obedience foundation exercises. We will hold this class if we have enough requests to do so. Please email us if you are interested. Session are scheudled based on number of people interested. |
