Week 2 of Puppy Class!
Tonight was our first week working hands on with the puppies! Last week, we focused on the owners, teaching them the foundations of training, communication, and how to set their puppies up for success.
Tonight, it was time to put those skills into practice with the pups!
We worked on:
-Engagement: Learning to pay attention to their owners and check in with them.
-Sit & Down: Building the foundation for basic obedience.
-Leash Skills: Teaching puppies what the leash means and how to work with their owners.
-No Jumping: Learning that sitting is a better way to greet people and earn attention.
-Calmness Around Other Dogs: Practicing staying calm around other puppies and learning that they don’t have to interact with every dog they see.
Puppy class is about so much more than teaching commands! We focus on building communication between dogs and their owners, creating good habits, and developing real life skills that will last a lifetime.
What a great first week with the pups! I’m excited to watch these puppies and their owners continue to grow together!
