Dog behavior modification specifically focuses on the more problematic of difficult dogs. Learn how easy it can be to comfortably control your dog if you have ever experienced; leash aggression, lunging, barking, biting or growling. Learn to pass other people and dogs on a completely loose leash. Gain confidence out in public!   

Train and socialize your new puppy. In this course your puppy will use a confidence-building obstacle course, experience being handled by strangers and develop a trusting bond with you. Gain a lifetime of essential social skills! Ages 15+ or 9-14 with an adult.

A fun, educational and fulfilling class, just for the pups! Bring your 12 week - 1 year old puppy for a hands on learning experience where each class brings you new information and tips that focus specifically on the puppy stuff! Essential behavioral subjects include walking nicely on a leash, crate training, potty training, coming when called, respect towards the human family members (no puppy biting, no jumping) & important words such as “no”, “off”, “leave it”, “drop it” and their name. We will dive into plenty of obedience jobs learning your basic sit, down & stays, but also push onwards to learn silly tricks and sending our puppies to a “place”! 

In this course you and your dog will practice good manners skills and maneuvering around obstacles that are common in a nursing home environment. Your dog will learn to be calm in all types of distracting situations and environments. A certification test will be given during the last week of the course. Your dog MUST have some self control and completed an obedience course to enroll.
