We will continue to focus on leadership skills, puppy socialization, precise timing of obedience commands and some off-leash puppy playtime. Now that puppy is getting bigger, we will help you with strategies on proper leash control. New in-house motivational tools will be introduced so your pup gets used to new experiences and situations. Home management skills will deal with some behaviors such as marking issues, puppy nipping and biting, barking, counter surfing and other common issues. Come mee the owner.

We continue to work on home issues such as: proper corrections, jumping up, nipping, biting, eating rocks or toys.
