Kickin off this weekend with our newest Puppy Preschool class! Introducing Alfie, Nova, Piper, Moose, and Martie!! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ They're so sweet and so smart and we're already having so much fun getting to know each other. We started with some focus and engagement games and introduced a greeting routine to help curb undesirable behaviours like jumping on guests, nipping toes, or tugging on clothes. Next week, we'll break out our puppy obstacle course to help build their body awareness, problem solving skills, and overall confidence!

Our Puppy Preschool class covers essential skills like safe socialization, confidence building, body awareness, engagement exercises, and more!

Registration is open for our Puppy Preschool class starting on Wednesday, November 4th at 5:30pm! This is likely to be our LAST preschool class of the year!!

Our Puppy Preschool Program is designed for babies ages 10- 18 weeks. We require all dogs in our group programs to have at least one round of vaccines and a dewormer prior to starting and continue with their vaccine schedule as outlined by their veterinarian.

This program covers essential skills like safe socialization, confidence building, body awareness, handling, soft mouth exercises, and more! The skills are fun to learn and easy to implement. The program will benefit puppy parents who want to promote positive interactions with people and other dogs, curb naughty behaviours like excessive nipping, chewing on furniture, stealing food, trash, clothing, etc. Puppy Preschool is jam-packed with information and includes weekly handouts to help keep the whole family accountable week to week with the homework. Class sizes are small, and we always have a training assistant present to ensure you're getting the most out of class time.

Classes are the same time every week for 6 weeks. Classes are held at our training facility located at 124 Glencoe Drive, Mount Pearl. If you're interested in joining us for a super fun 6 weeks of learning, please email us [email protected] to register!

Please note that Liv Better Dog Training follows the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behaviours stance on dog training and uses positive reinforcement training methods. We do not permit the use of aversive tools or techniques in any of our programs. This means we focus on rewarding positive, desired behavior while reducing unwanted behaviors through prevention and management. We do not use confrontational training techniques, such as verbal or physical correction, and we do not use tools like choke chains, prong collars, or ecollars. You will need lots of treats and a properly fitted harness. If you are not committed to a positive approach to training your dog, then we will not be a good fit for your needs. Please consider this before signing up to train with us.

Say hello to the sweet pups of our most recent Middle School Mutts class๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป Introducing Nugget, Beauie, Winnie, and Matilda! We are having so much fun getting to know them and watching their individual personalities shine through. They're all so sweet and so smart and have been a total joy to have in class so far. Over the next few weeks they will learn new skills to help curb common training concerns like excited greetings, pulling on leash, pestering guests, counter surfing, stealing things, destructive behaviours, rushing through doors, running away, etc. They're already making beautiful progress but I'm excited to see how they handle the challenges coming their way! Stay tuned!
