Virtual: Out of Isolation: Frolic or Fight?

For dog, puppies and their people coming out of lockdown! Gain confidence when taking your dog out and around other dogs. 

Now that we are getting out there with our dogs, we see how much they want to play and greet! This virtual class is for those dog guardians who are not sure how their dog will greet and play with other dogs. Not sure if your dog is ready to join an in-person class?  Covid quarantine, under socialization, a new rescue dog that is afraid of the dog park or an overly excited dog that doesn’t know how to say hello; this class will  help you learn about normal dog play and identify what it looks like. 

  • Not sure if your dog knows how to greet other dogs?  
  • Have a puppy that has not been socialized and you are uncertain how they will play with other pups? 
  • Worried your covid quarantined dog has not had enough socialization for an in-person class? 
  • Afraid your dog is overly excited and too rough?

If you answered yes to any of these, this class is for you! We will address all these issues, along with learning how to select a dog park, when to interrupt play, learn referee skills and learn to identify play problems. If there is a fight, you will learn how to safely break up a fight. 

 

Frolic to Fight Class includes:

  • Identifying normal dog and puppy play to make sure everyone is having fun.

Virtual: Beginning Skills for Dogs 19 Weeks & Older

I have a puppy over 19 weeks; is this the class for me?
Yes! This is the the place to start. The curriculum is very similar to our PUP1 series, but for adolescent puppies (yes, your puppy is beginning their adolescent years at 18 weeks!) and adult dogs. We will address all the basic commands, manners and distraction training, all while providing guidance for any challenging doggie habits you may be dealing with at home.
An adolescent dog can be a joy, but let’s face it: there are moments when you’ll wonder what to do with your young dog’s boundless energy. Whether you’ve just adopted your dog, or perhaps haven’t started training your puppy yet, our award winning instructors will support you through any difficulties and inspire you with success!
I have an older dog that has never taken any classes; is this the class for me?
Yes! Learning is fun at any age. If you have a beloved dog that you’ve never trained, or a newly adopted dog, training is exciting no matter what age he or she is.
