Teamworks Puppy Class
(6 Months & Under)
Positive Socialization & Introduction to Basic Manners
Class Goals:
Our 7-week interactive puppy class focuses on socialization to people and other dogs with an introduction to obedience commands such as sit, down, stay, come & leave it. Your puppy will play with puppies every week in addition to socializing with people. Puppies are exposed to many new sights and sounds in a positive way. Many other puppy topics are covered during class such as puppy play biting, crate training, house-training, walking nicely on a leash, learning not to guard their food or bones, learning how to be alone without being upset, & learning to love to be petted and handled by everyone. Clicker training methodology will also be taught in this class but is not required.
