11am: CDTC Puppy Class & AKC S.T.A.R Puppy Test 6wk class

Such an exciting time having a new puppy come into your lives.  It is very important to start them on a good path with health and wellness.  An important part of that is their mental training and socialization.  We are going to be training you and your puppy on a variety of new skills and behaviors.

The goal of this 6 week class is not to teach your puppies but to teach YOU, the handler, the skills and knowledge needed to train your dog and develop the foundation for a lifelong relationship.  Anyone can teach their dog to sit, but not everyone has a great working relationship with their dog where the dog WANTS to sit.

The CDTC STAR Puppy Program includes:

Week 1 - STATIONS & RELAXATION (BUILDING THE CALM WINDOW)
Week 2 - SIT, DOWN, STAY, & SOCIALIZATION
Week 3 - ZEN BOWL (IMPULSE CONTROL), GROOMING, & VET VISITS
Week 4 - WALKING WITH A PURPOSE (LOOSE LEASH WALK)
Week 5 - GET YOUR GAME ON (BUILDING THE FUN WITH ME WINDOW)
Week 6 - AKC STAR Puppy Examination - Earn the AKC recognized STAR Puppy Certification
