Most classes meet once a week for an hour for six weeks.
These classes will be held with the puppies up to four months and a half months old. The primary purposes of these puppy classes are socialization, which there is a very small window to teach them (up to 4 months) and also includes bite inhibition, and play skills, none of which can happen unless the puppies are interacting with each other. You will learn to communicate and teach your puppy the rules of playing with humans and other puppies. The class also covers puppy manners such as not jumping, potty training, chewing, name recognition, and how to stop those sharp puppy teeth from making your life miserable. In the four weeks of this course, you will come away with a much less stressful relationship with your new pup, and will look forward to bringing your puppy to Canine Potentials basic obedience class Let's Get Started to continue training. In my experience, lack of socialization during this critical time is one of the major causes of many behavior issues later in life. Proper socialization is the single most important thing for puppies and at the same time the single most neglected activity. Come and join the fun.

Let's
Get Started - This is the foundation class for all of
the other classes and the place to learn about living successfully
with your dog. Carol will be training you and your family
to train your dog. Some of the things your dog will learn to do
will be sit, down, stay, come, leave it and walking nice on the
leash. You will learn to solve common mistakes dogs make when living
with humans like jumping up on you your friends, and the counters.
This class is a lot of fun and if you do your part and practice,
first at home and then around town you will be amazed at how much
you will have accomplished with your dog. $145.00
Rally - Rally is a fun canine sport that builds on the
foundation skills learned in "Let's Get Started".
Rally uses a course to move dog/handler teams through a series of
stations that directs them to perform specific exercises. Rally
is an enjoyable way to finish the connection between you and your
dog, the movement between stations must be done with tail wagging
and a team effort. This class is offered in the summer only as this
is taught outdoors. $120.00
