Classes are offered from puppy kindergarten continuing
through adolescence and adulthood. Training for older beginners
is also available. Old dogs can learn new tricks! Classes are approximately 75 minutes long.
The emphasis is on motivational, positive
reinforcement for desired responses and behavior. We learn instructive
reprimands, where the puppy learns what it should do, not just what it
is not to do.
Other advantages of P.U.P. are as follows:
1. Class Size is limited to
allow for more individual attention
2. Enclosed indoor training area, safe for on- and off-leash training
3. Socialization with people and puppies of different breeds
4. Homework Sheets and educational hand-outs to review at home
5. The Entire Family, including children, is encouraged to attend
and participate
6. Obedience training with practical application for the home
7. Temperament training - the most essential ingredient for a companion
dog
8. Fun for one and all, even a puppy party!
