Let’s get those puppies off to a positive FEAR FREE® start with semi-private puppy training! This 4-session series will focus on teaching each puppy life skills that will support them on their journey into being a well-rounded and confident puppy. Training groups are limited to 3 puppies in an effort to provide individualized coaching to each puppy family. A detailed curriculum is listed below.
For puppies 8-16 WEEKS OLD at the beginning of the first session.
Requirements: Puppies must have at least one round of vaccinations administered at least 7 days prior to beginning and a negative fecal test.
Location: Wet Nose BARK Room, Geneva, IL
** NO CLASS 11/25 **
Please Note – When registering for this class, you will be prompted to fill out a questionnaire prior to check-out.
Details
Our Fear Free® Puppy Specialist will gently guide you & your pups through the 45 minute training sessions, using only positive reinforcement methods to create a calm and nurturing experience for all.
Puppies will experience surfaces (tarps, cardboard), inanimate objects (holiday decorations, trash can) and things that move (broom, rolling suitcase). During this time the puppy family will learn to read body language and how to provide support for their puppy during the learning process.
One or two new skills will be introduced in each session, such as attention, name recognition, recall, and hand touch. Distractions will be added to the skills each week, which strengthens the learned behaviors and shows puppy parents how to manage challenges during their training.
At the end of each session, puppies will be given the opportunity to explore together in an enriching environment, as opposed to a sterile space that often encourages WWE style play.
During breaks, puppy parents can ask questions about what’s being learned and common puppy “issues” like nipping, chewing, jumping, etc.
Policies
Puppies must have at least one round of vaccinations administered at least 7 days prior to beginning and a negative fecal test.
