Sports Puppy Classes

​Sports Puppy classes this summer! What with the influx of puppies lately I am offering two stand alone Sports Puppy classes on Monday mornings in Sherwood starting June 24th:

8am: Baby Sports Puppy (for puppies 4 months and younger) (FULL)
​
9am: Sports Puppy (for puppies 4 months and older) (FULL)

These classes focus on developing a fun successful working relationship based on play, trust, communication and choice. It's appropriate for puppies with a future in dog sports of any kind. We will be looking at play of all types, games, focus, manners, tricks, body awareness, recalls, shaping, stationing, handling, confidence building and impulse control while you get to know your new puppy!

Classes start June 24th and run 7 weeks for $140 ($130 for existing students in other classes). This class focuses on group activities, please, no reactive or aggressive dogs.
