Puppy Kindergarten: This 6-week course is designed for puppies to get a head start on their basic manners and obedience. This is a - golden age for puppies in terms of learning new behaviors and becoming a well-adjusted, social adult. The emphasis will be on fun, positive training in a relaxed setting. Get your puppy used to walking on a leash, being handled for grooming and vet visits, and the basics of sit, down, stay and come when called. Puppy topics such as housetraining, chewing, nipping and crating will also be addressed. Short training sessions will be staggered among puppy socialization and play. This class is held indoors once a week at NCAL.
Basic Obedience& Manners: This 6-week course is for dogs 6 months and older. There is no UPPER age limit, since it is NEVER too late to have a good dog. We will teach you how to have a polite dog at home with you, when guests arrive and in public. We stress good manners, safety and appropriate interactions with children, adults and other dogs. We will teach (or re-teach) you and your dog new vocabulary such as Come When Called, Stay, Leave It, Down, Stand, and Let’s Go. All this in a fun, positive training environment. Class is held indoors once a week at NCAL.
