Puppy
Preschool

Create a trusting relationship between you and your dog by building a strong learning foundation which will last a lifetime!

 

Did you acquire a new puppy?  Start your pup off on the right paw!  The most important thing in a puppy's life between the age of 3 weeks and 16 weeks is 'socialization'. 

​

Our class starts off with educating the pet parents on important topics as:

• Canine development stages

• Importance of socialization

• Canine body language

• Health topics

• Positive reinforcement

• How to set your puppy up for a successful life

​

Our puppy preschool class is designed so your puppy will become confident to go out and explore their exciting world utilizing the tools they learn:

• Basic obedience

• Self-control to prevent unwanted behaviors

• Form good habits

• Manage their home environment

• Proper handling

• Provide positive experiences with unknown people and dogs​

​

Introduce your puppy to some basic obedient cues using force free positive reinforcement:

• Name, focus, sit, target, recall (come), loose leash walking

​

Learn how to deal with typical puppy challenges:

• Mouthing, chewing, house training, jumping

​

There will be a set lesson plan each week.

You will be given several handouts and homework assignments as well.

The last day of our Puppy Preschool class we will have a graduation celebration with a diploma given to each pup!

​

Our goal at Paws Plus You is to give you and your puppy the tools to respond to situations in a positive way to maintain a happy successful life for the entire family.
