We love to see the whole family attend. We will work on building your puppies confidence with puppy equipment like tunnels, trampoline, dog walks, wobble boards and more. Puppies will be taught fun recall games so the word “come” is fun. We will teach them basic behaviours like sit, down, come, heel position, walking on a loose leash. Deal with any behaviour issues before they get out of control and learn ways of not reinforcing unwanted behaviours. It’s really important while training to make it fun for both the handler and the puppy. So we are going to teach you some steps to incorporate fun tricks with your obedience training. Again we can’t stress enough to include the whole family in the training, Included when you register for the class is a clicker and booklet with important information and class homework sheets.

Little Moe’s K9 Good Citizen – Now you have your basic manners and have learned a little bit about Behaviour. Let’s raise our expectations a little bit!! Working your dog at home or in a more controlled environment like an obedience class is great!! How do we get them fluent in their behaviors anywhere we want to take them? For example going for a walk down town, your neighborhood or going to the park. At least two weeks of this class we will be meeting in different locations in town to work your dogs in real life situations. Other things we will be working on are lots of recalls (come), sit for a friendly stranger, stand stay while being groomed or having an exam, longer stays, faster downs (drop) more meet and greets and heel work. Finally we will pick one more trick to add to your training to make things fun !!!
