Puppy Kindergarten is an entry-level obedience and socialization class that introduces your puppy to the ABCs of puppy obedience – coming when called, sitting, heeling, and general good manners. Elements of the class, such as supervised play, also introduce and start acclimating your puppy to other dogs, other people, and in general, a variety of new experiences – all in a safe and controlled environment.
Studies have shown that between the ages of two months and four and a half months (the socialization period), your puppy should be exposed to as many positive experiences as possible. We focus on providing opportunities for puppies to develop social skills and manners with both puppies and people. This class will teach you and your puppy basic commands such as sit, down, stand, stay, come, off, leave-it, take-it, and leash etiquette. Other common management issues also covered include: housebreaking, jumping, chewing, mouthing, handling and responsible pet ownership.
This class is an ideal foundation for those who want to continue into the club’s Obedience or Show Handling classes.
