Over the summer of 2021, the puppy beginner life skills training class for puppies has been COMPLETELY REDESIGNED to help you understand your dog better. We have added MULTIPLE different reputable resources such as training videos and educational information handouts to continue your home education and learning. Dog training is consistently evolving, and we strive to keep you updated with the most recent and updated training techniques.
Additional information has been added such as understanding jumping behaviors, puppy biting information, understanding how dogs learn with direction instead of correction and multiple visual learning training videos to follow up your classes on sits and down behaviors.
Raising puppies is an extensive amount of work, at TLCA we want to prevent behavior problems and get you started on the right paw.
Enjoy your training adventures with your new furiend! - Christie Golebiowski Business Owner and Certified Dog Trainer AND new puppy owner!
Class Format:
In this class you will learn:
Eye contact = CONNECTING with your dog = Focus work
Sit, down and stand. Basic everyday life skills and foundation training
Sit and Stay
Down and Stay
Leave It
Impulse Control/Self Control Exercises
Teaching handling and desensitization exercises of muzzle control, head control, ear and paw touching. These are helpful in your dogs life for veterinary care and grooming.
End of class allows for five minutes of socialization and exposure to other dogs, humans and kids attending the class - all socialization is on leash. This acts as a great reward for the dogs for working so hard in class.
This class uses food luring (Classical Conditioning) to teach desired behaviors. We also gradually and slowly start to make some of your behaviors a little bit more difficult every class, gradually increasing your dog's skills.
You may be thinking '...but my dog already knows most of these training commands'. Yes! They may already know sit, but can they do sit with other dogs and other people in the room?! This is how we proof the behavior for strength training. Repition builds the behavior.
Group dog training classes also provide so much more than basic training commands and cues, there is exposure with other dogs and people including exposing their senses. Relationship and connection building with your dog. Establishing a relationship with a trainer for future help and trouble shooting behavior problems. The benefits are MANY!
