Puppy-Wuppy Dog Training
Puppy 101 - Introducing a New class
We often get calls regarding various questions on puppy issues so we created a Puppy 101 Class to address all things Puppy. From teaching Engagement, to teaching them their Name. Addressing housebreaking problems, mouthing, biting, nipping, barking, crate training. Shaping behaviors needed later in your training classes such as sit, down, place. This class is recommended for young dogs from 12 weeks - 5 months.
This is a must have course for anyone with a new puppy or for someone who has not raised a puppy in quite some years.
Puppy's, while cute, can be difficult at times and our patience and frustration levels escalate...Share your issues.
Puppy Foundations I and II
This class is a continuation of Puppy 101. The pup is a little older now and has a longer attention span for learning. Class is shaped around neutral socialization, environmental confidence, addressing sit, down, come position, place, stay in their obedience exercises. This is an interactive class with you and your dog.
We do ask you are committed to the full 6 week of classes to create solid foundation in your obedience to progress to Basic. This class is recommended for dogs from 4 -8 Months

Level 2 - Beyond Basic
This class requires the dog to understand the heel position. Learn when and how to adjust to challenges so you can move forward in your training. In this level you will work on refining the stay (in both sit and down positions) for longer periods of time. Continuing to work on a reliable recall and moving down so we can begin to teach the emergency down in level 3. More advanced attention will be emphasized along with sitting politely for greeting others. Level 2 focuses on
longer stays (sit and down) with and without distractions
further distance recalls with and without distractions
refined heeling (your dog will return to heel from any point of reference)
heeling with distractions
honing the come command
Any specific concerns or problems are addressed at the end of every class. This class are for dogs that have understanding of the heel position and are walking in heel.
All classes meet once a week for 6 weeks. Class sessions are 1 hour.
Level 3 - INtermediate Obedience
This is the reliability class where we help you to build more reliable behaviors with the dog responding to a single command. In this class, we combine what you learned in levels 1 and level 2 and compound the distractions. Additional footwork is introduced to help the dog understand the “heel position” better and to come to heel whenever asked of the dog. We begin to introduce the dog to off leash heeling based on the dogs level of progression. Are you up for the challenge? We encourage you to give it a try. Level 3 focuses on
focused attention
recalls with distraction
off leash heeling
stays with heavy distractions & intro to out-of-sight
intro to emergency recalls

Have fun with your dog, knowing he is well trained in many obedience commands, and tweak those command by including pivots, circles, recalls with down, call to come, call to heel, spin left, back up one, two, and three steps, stand for the groomer/vet, hand signals and out of sight stays are all worked in the is program.
