We will go over basic commands such as sit, stay, high five, turn around, and come.  I can show you what I have taught my puppy Jett (born 12/03/2019).  It is simple.  It doesn't have to be hard.  Keep your training sessions short and fun.  Your dog will love training with you and being trained.  Training is a form of communication between you and your dog.  We can also talk about teething.  I can answer any questions at the end.

I have had numerous dogs in my life from puppy age to very old aged dogs.  I have taught my own three children how they can teach basic training commands for our dogs and how to care for them.  I have taken my chocolate lab to the MSPCA for nose search training and advanced dog training. I recently brought home a new puppy. My 8 year old Chocolate Lab is reactive  so I have had to continually train her. .

Homework will involve practicing with your dog with what we have done in class.  Students will practice the commands learned in class with their dog 3-5 times per day for 5-10 minutes foe each session.

Someone asked me for a dog bowl recommendation for puppies who like to splash in their water bowls.  This water bowl keeps them from swimming in the bowl.  Also no water mess on the floor
