Our Puppy classes, which are held in the clinic, uses positive training methods to:
\n• Teach owners basic obedience commands and control. They are then able to teach their puppy; sit, down, heel, come!!
\n
\n• Discuss behavioral problems and offer solutions—jumping, digging, chewing, toilet training, mouthing
\n
\n• Teach puppies good manners!!!!
\n
\n• Interactive play sessions—puppies just love coming back to the clinic associating it with fun!!
\n
\nJulie aims to have well rounded puppies able to socialize with other dogs, owners and children. Owners leave more confident with good skills to ‘tackle’ the early stages of a dog’s development and its associated problems.
