Puppy Kindergarten

Puppy Kindergarten is aimed towards your new puppy younger than 5 months old.

Early socialization is a must for every puppy. The optimum time to socialize a dog is before they reach four months of age.

Proper socialization is probably the single most important thing and owner can do to guard against serious behavior problems in the future.

This class is a lot of fun for puppies and people. While the puppies are playing, they teach other things like bite inhibition and social skills.

During Puppy Kindergarten, your puppy will learn to interact properly with people and other dogs. They also begin learning good mannners such as leash tolerance,not to jump on people, how to settle down and be introduced to basic obedience cues. This is positive motivational training.

Your puppy will begin to learn to be glad to do what you want because lots of good things happen and not that (s)he will be punished for doing the wrong things.
