Puppy and Basic Obedience Training Courses:
We offer puppy and adult classes using the same methods we use to train our service dogs- helping new owners get started on the right path to a happy, well mannered companion for years to come. Properly socializing & training puppies AND adults can help prevent common problems in later in life such as using the bathroom in the house, pulling on the leash, not coming when called, excessive barking, hyperactivity, destructive behavior, aggression or fear, and unwanted jumping.
Topics covered include:
Potty training Greeting new people
