Puppy Socialization
Class Information
Bringing a new puppy home is an exciting experience. Get your new furry friend off to the right start. Train a happy, well-adjusted canine companion in a fun, positive environment. Classes address common puppy concerns such as barking, chewing, crate training, house training issues, jumping, leash pulling, and mouthing. Puppy I is a 6 week class for puppies 8 weeks to 16 weeks old. Puppy II is a 6 week class designed for older puppies between the ages of 17 weeks to 8 months old. Both classes meet the requirements of the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy program. No choke, prong or shock collars are allowed in class.
Class Requirements
All puppies must be healthy, have an exam by a veterinarian and have received at least one round of vaccinations at least 14 days prior to the start of class. Puppies under 12 weeks old must be vaccinated for DHPP and Bordetella. Puppies 12 weeks and older must be vaccinated for Rabies, DHLPP and Bordetella. There are no exceptions to this policy.
Private Training
Session Information
It is never too late to teach a dog new skills and tricks! Virtual private sessions are designed to work on obedience skills such as attention, come when called, down, friendly greetings, leave it, reaction to distractions, settle, sit, stay, stand, targeting, wait, and walk on a loose leash. In-person sessions are offered exclusively through Preventative Pet Health of Michiana in South Bend, Indiana. If your dog is experiencing behavior problems, an exam by a veterinarian and blood-work is required to rule out possible medical causes prior to starting in person training. Serious cases of aggression, anxiety and fear may be referred to a Veterinary Behaviorist.
Requirements
All dogs must have had an exam by a veterinarian within the last year and be current on Rabies vaccination prior to starting private training.
