| Puppy 1 - socialization & habituation |
|
|
TRAINING |
You will learn positive techniques to motivate puppy and activities to build puppy's confidence (yours too!) using clicker methods and TTouch.
Every member of the family will learn to manage puppy's behaviour with effective methods of motivation. Help with housetraining puppy, techniques to manage puppy's nipping, barking, digging, chewing; or information on grooming.
Where else will you get the opportunity to "pass the puppy", or observe "puppy playtime"? These activities are not only important learning experiences, but they are great fun for puppies & their humans.

| Puppy 2 - socialization & habituation |
|
|
TRAINING |
In these classes you continue learning and solidifying the basic commands to enable your puppy to live in harmony in your home. During the 4-5 month period your puppy will start to test it’s human and can become quite fearful of new things.
Careful, fun introduction of new sounds and different visual stimuli are added into the class at this stage. At 5-7 months puppies develop their “Will to please”. Play learning and informal fun learning/training is done in a positive, safe environment, and full advantage is taken of this great learning period.

TRAINING |
Proper training keeps your dog happy, healthy, and young. No matter what the age, size, or breed, training your dog to respond to basic commands most of the time makes him a pleasure to live with.
If your dog is displaying undesirable behaviours, it's never too late to train your pet. Most behavioural problems, such as aggression, begging, and home or garden destruction, can be resolved with a basic training program. Well-behaved dogs are happier dogs…and so are their owners.

TRAINING |
These classes are for the more reactive dogs, who are not able to be included in an ordinary obedience class, due to poor socialization skills. The dogs are taught with positive reinforcement, that it is a rewarding experience to be in the same area as another dog and not react.
They are taught calming signals and the handlers are given information on how to read their dogs body language and how to prevent their dog loosing control. These classes are kept small and it is essential that the handler/s are able to keep their dogs with them at all times..

CLASSES |
The main focus of kitten classes is to educate their humans on proper kitten care, how to prevent problems, and how to deal with problems they are already experiencing. To habituate the kittens to different sights & sounds aimed at preventing stress & behavioural problems from developing. The kittens are also taught some basic clicker and the humans some TTouch, giving a well-adjusted kitten.
