Description
Bright Puppy Program (includes Puppy Playtime and Let's Go!)
This force-free, fun program has a number of parts that are included in the course fee. The program starts as soon as your puppy meets the entry criteria and lasts until they turn a year old. The fee for this entire time period is $475 + gst. **important note: the Puppy Playtime portion ends when your puppy turns 18 weeks of age**
Class size is limited to 8 teams. The classroom is 2500 square feet.
Entry Criteria
Puppy is under 6 months of age
Has been at home for 10 days
Has had at least one set of the parvo/distemper vaccinations (proof required)
Main Concepts
Teach your dog to do behaviours you like
Ensure they have appropriate hobbies
Set boundaries/rules/routines to encourage peaceful coexistence
In this program we teach foundation skills – auto attention, name recognition, loose leash walking, coming when called, drop it/trade, polite greetings, getting on/off surfaces when asked, lying down on a mat, hand target, head through a hoop and so much more! We also address common behaviours like mouthing/biting, resource guarding, house training, and so on. Everything is carefully planned for enrichment and is based on how dogs learn.
