Puppy Enrichment Class

Finally, a class created specifically for the young adolescent dog (ages 4.5 months through 8 months)!  During this developmental stage most dogs will grow to close to adult size and yet are still working with the attention span of a youngster and are very easily distracted.  (Think of them as approximately 13 years old in human years!)  Many handlers can find this developmental stage frustrating as it relates to training. This class is designed to continue your dog’s socialization, introduce your dog to new things that will help build confidence and also continue to build on the skills started in Puppy Preschool.  In addition, we will teach you exercises that will help your young dog learn self control. Learning self control will help your adolescent dog keep his or her arousal level down. Over-arousal contributes to an inability to focus and can be a precursor to aggressive behavior. Perhaps most importantly, this class will help build a foundation that will accelerate your dog’s continued learning as they mature.
