Courteous Canine Class Descriptions:

​

Puppy Kindergarten

For puppies 10-20 weeks old

You just got a new puppy - now what? Well, unless you want a trail of shredded paper and chewed boots in his furry little wake, the next step is training. Puppy training and socialization are key to preventing behavior problems like fear and aggression in adult dogs.

Our comprehensive and fun puppy kindergarten covers the basics like sit, down, leave it, and loose-lead walking. You’ll also learn how to develop one of the most important (and safe) skills a dog can have: a bulletproof recall, so your puppy always comes running at the sound of your voice. Puppy Kindergarten gives your puppy the best possible start in life, and we’ve added the convenience of open enrollment. You never have to wait for a class to open or new class cycle to begin.

​

Focused Puppy

For puppies 20+ weeks. No prior training necessary.

Your puppy loved her Puppy Kindergarten class and mastered all the commands - but the teenager months have hit, and now she wants to explore and investigate everything. She’s too busy to come when she’s called, and it seems like she’s completely forgotten her manners.

Your puppy needs focus. Directed socialization exercises use a preventive medicine approach to behavior, focusing on building active attention from puppies when they are distracted.

This class prepares your puppy for the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy test and certificate, where you’ll be able to demonstrate skills like loose-lead walking, accepting a friendly stranger, sitting and lying down on command, and social behavior around other puppies.
