This class will strengthen communication and understanding between you and your dog. It will focus on learning life skills that form the building blocks for behavior. These skills will set you and your puppy up for a life of mutual respect and communication. The class will heavily focus on using Pattern Games to equip our dogs (and ourselves) for all the distractions the world provides. Additional topics covered are stationing, targeting, learning to relax in the presence of other dogs, teaching a reliable recall, and how to establish comfort with grooming/vet visits. We will also discuss how to effectively socialize your puppy using a deliberate, focused, method. All dogs will have their own working stations.
