Puppy K I an 8 week course an hour each week. starting Wednesday evening March 3rd , ending April 28th .No class school vacation week April 21st. .NO PUPS week one. Vaccination requirements 1st Dhpp / a Bordatella is recommended but not required. Rabies vaccines are not given until 12 weeks of age or older just bring a copy after your pup has received their rabies. Prood of 1st Distemper series is required week one.             This is a class for owners to get lessons in "DOGOLOGY" (my own term) and for puppies to continue their socialization. Off leash play time is done in each class. During play time, discussions are about the dogs signals, body and sound, and how some of the canine signals are "calming signals". These signals are used to maintain a healthy social hierarchy.The first class is for the pet parents  where we will outline the the class and to explain how to use a clicker (you are not required to use it) and our 7 Tools for Success (leashes, training collars, rewards, tethers, clickers, kongs and housetraining bells). Training manuals and clickers are given to every owner as part of your class fee.The next 7 weeks we will explain/demonstrate/instruct attention/name game exercises, bite inhibition and settle exercises as well as teach  basic obedience commands such as sit, down, stay, stand, and loose-leash walking. An explanation of "manage and/or train" methods of dealing with your puppy's first 18 months will help to solve such behaviors as jumping, chewing, barking, housesoiling, etc.
