More Information
Puppy Social is a fantastic local hangout and training session tailored exclusively for puppies up to a year and a half. However, it's important to mention that certain requirements must be met for puppies to participate. Ensuring the health and safety of all puppies involved, it is mandatory for them to be up to date on their vaccines and have received their first round of shots. Then I highly recommend deworming every 3 months if under a year. Although my yard is sanitized each Wednesday puppies can easily spread germs and pickup things weather it be on a walk, at the park, or leaving your own home.
Sit

Handling skills helping your pup be okay with other people touching them/petting them (touching paws, face, tail, legs, body) very helpful if your dog goes to a dog groomer
Desensitizing to noise (trash cans, balloons, bikes, leaf blower and more)
Desensitizing to dog friendly birds and parrots (all through a fence I prioritize making sure all animals are safe)

In our puppy classes, we follow a rotating schedule to ensure a well-rounded training experience. Every week, we alternate between two different types of sessions. During one week, we conduct the classes at my home, where the focus is on teaching commands and fundamental skills to the puppies. This setting allows for a controlled environment, ideal for mastering the basics.
On the other week, we switch gears and engage in social training. This particular session takes place in the real world, exposing the puppies to various distractions such as people, cars, and other elements they may encounter on a daily basis. Don't worry each week your pup will have time to socialize and play with each other before hand and to get out any energy before training begins.
By alternating between these two types of classes, we ensure that your puppy receives a well-balanced training experience, both in a controlled environment and in real-life scenarios. This approach helps them develop the necessary skills and behaviors to be well-behaved and adaptable in various situations.
