12-18 weeks is a critical developmental period, take advantage of it! Puppyhood Survival: learn how to deal with housebreaking, chewing, nipping, furniture tasting & other adventures of puppyhood Socialization! Teach your pup to interact well with other dogs and people. Prevent many common fear and aggression problems that may occur later. Exposure to your own other dogs and friends is not the same! Training primer! Get the basics now to prevent your pup from associating the WRONG behavior with command words. Teach your puppy now to LOVE coming when called! Even with distractions! Teach your dog to sit, down, come when called and walk politely on leash. Tricks to use puppy energy! Learn games that will use his/her "creative" talents on something other than redecorating and rearranging your home with little mouths. Practical skills... handling exercises that get your puppy to relax whether at home, the veterinarian or groomer. Obstacles! Tons of fun, energy release, and builds confidence and bonding! Controlled free play... they all need it, most love it! Learn to read the signs of doggie play, and feel confident with instructors supervising. Preventing behavior problems! Fun & Informative! Ideal for first time dog owners or anyone who knows how important the right start can be for the rest of your dog's life! Prepare for beginner groups (you'll be the show-offs of the class!)
