Puppy Basics Puppy Basics is for pups between 10 and 15 weeks (up to 20 weeks for toy breeds) of age as of the class start date and have had their first set of vaccinations. If your pup is older, please register them for Great Beginnings. Puppy Basics class is a great way to build confidence, for you and your pup, while learning foundational skills.

How about when people come to your home? Whether your dog has entered their adolescent phase or is older and has developed some unwanted behaviours, this program will help prepare your dog for real-life situations. Great Beginnings works on behaviours such as impulse control, calmness, disengagement from the environment, engagement with you, proximity (hanging out with you), focus, working in arousal (when they're excited or scared), being able to bring their arousal level down, and much more. This course utilizes games-based concept training, which helps reshape your dog's brain, so that they learn to make better decisions. Like not chasing that pesky squirrel, resisting the urge to pick up stuff while out on walks, going crazy when they see another dog, being fearful of new things, remaining calm when someone comes to your home and other undesirable behaviours. The exercises are fun and adaptable to the individual dog. We also share with you the science behind how and why the games work to produce real-life results. After Great Beginnings you can move onto Level Up, Scent Level 1, Tricks Level 1, or Sports Prep Level 1. NOTE: This program replaces Game On.

This course covers basic obedience skills, including stays from various positions, heelwork, recall, working around distractions, not jumping up, leave it and more.
