Description: Puppy kindergarten is enormously helpful to humans and dogs, and provides about the best entertainment possible. For a small fee you get to participate in something that is mentally, emotionally, and physically healthy for you and your dog. Your puppy needs this learning environment during critical development stages. If socialization during these stages is missed, some puppies will never be as successful as they could otherwise have been at fitting into your home or whatever else you hope to do with your dog.
This class starts with a registration/orientation session. You will meet your instructors, and they will provide the guidelines for the class and the rules of the Training Center. This is an ideal opportunity to ask questions and get great advice! The class has two components - a training session and an informational portion. In training we start with the very basics such as leash training, sit, down, and coming when called. In the informational portion we provide you with the proper tools to raise a healthy, happy, well-behaved puppy. Topics that may be covered include grooming, crate training, toys, vet visits, and nutrition.
Notes: No dogs first night!
Name: Puppy Essentials
Ages: 4 1/2-9 months of age
Length: 6 Weeks
Price: $50
Location: GFKC Training Center - East Grand Forks
Prerequisite: None
Description: This will be a fun class for both you and your puppy (not hilariously funny) but challenging enough to keep you interested. The skills will build on what you've learned in Puppy K...nice to experience first but not necessarily a pre-requisite... Bonding takes place between the two of you! You are really "playing" with your puppy while you learn. This class is great for the team that wants to continue with training but feels at this time the puppy is not mentally mature enough for the structure of Basic Obedience.
Notes: Puppies come the first night!
This new class provides a motivational bridge between Puppy Kindergarten and more advanced levels of learning.
