AMAZING KINDERGARTEN PUPPY CLASS ( aka Puppy Class level1) : 6 weeks program /1 lesson   /week :  2023 FEES for the whole 6 weeks program $325( taxes included)  MAXIMUM 5 PUPPIES /CLASS.          This class is intended for puppies *BETWEEN 10 & 18 WEEKS OLD ON THE 1ST DAY OF GROUP CLASS and their family. The class is taught off-leash for play time and training games, and on-leash for practicing loose leash walking and greeting people & dogs. The class priority is teaching puppies to develop a soft mouth (no jaws!) and socializing your puppy to THE MOST IMPORTANT : PEOPLE!! ( MEN CHILDREN ,  & STRANGERS) and other dogs. It will also cover basic manners, potty training, crate training, chew toys training and home alone training, as well as coming when called, greeting people, learning to relax on cue, off leash & loose leash walking, handling, tricks, prevention, awareness & more! This puppy class is taught in real life format, with emphasis on VERBAL control first at home then out and about! Gentle Puppy Training believes the Amazing Kindergarten Puppy Class should be regarded as essential for any family/person adopting a new puppy. It is easy to teach on old dog sit down and stand. This puppy class is about bite inhibition (aka gentle jaws training), gentle handling by family first, then unfamiliar people, socialization & manners Potty Training  Chew toys training Coming when called. Leash training  . Self impulse control ( wait – Stay – Off!)  Focus & Attention! !                           IF THERE IS JUST ONE CLASS THAT YOU & YOUR PUPPY SHOULD DO…THIS IS THE CLASS! PUPPY PARTY Level 1 – ENROLL  YOUR PUPPY NOW ! DO NOT WAIT!   NO! NO! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL YOUR PUPPY GETS  ALL OF HIS VACCINATION I REPEAT NO! NO! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL YOUR PUPPY GETS ALL HIS VACCINATION TO TAKE HIM TO GENTLE PUPPY TRAINING’ PUPPY CLASS. THIS IS A MYTH AND THE WORSE ADVICE YOU CAN GET !!                                                                                                          As long your puppy is healthy, was checked by a veterinarian and have the 1st set of Puppy vaccination ( PARVO VIRUS & DISTEMPER)  it is safe to bring him to class. Puppies as early as 10 weeks old come to Gentle Puppy Training ‘Puppy Class level 1 .By the time they graduate at the end of the 6 weeks program those puppies  are way ahead on their manners, social skills and the MOST IMPORTANT ; they are CONFIDENT with PEOPLE and other puppies too. .Just remember the window of opportunity to socialize your puppy is 14 weeks old! There is numerous studies that confirm that statement: Socialization means :puppies should have seen, cuddled and being handled by a minimum of 100 different persons at the breeder’s house then by 100 more people with his new family.  By  14 -16 weeks old EVERY PUPPY should have been handled and cuddled by a minimum of 200 DIFFERENT persons.: men , women, children, toddlers, seniors etc… Socialization create confident & happy dogs!   Lack of socialization create timid, shy, fear biter , barking and reactive & AGGRESSIVE  dogs  DO NOT WAIT! TIME IS RUNNING ! DO NOT WAIT ! TIME IS RUNNING!BUT TAKE IT SLOW DO NOT RUSH AND FORCE YOUR PUPPY . 

PLEASE NOTE: EVERY PUPPY I REPEAT EVERY PUPPY IN THE CLASS HAS GOT THE 1ST  PUPPY VACCINATION SHOTS( DISTEMPER ,PARVOVIRUS, ADENOVIRUS, PARAINFLUENZA ,HEPATITIS )

YES! YOUR PUPPY WILL HAVE PLAY SESSIONS WITH THE OTHER PUPS IN THE CLASS AS PLAYING IS PART OF SOCIALIZATION AND LEARNING CANINE SOCIAL SKILLS

JUST REMEMBER THE 1st CLASS IS A LECTURE (75 MINUTES) FOR THE FAMILY ONLY.

YOUR PUPPY WILL HAVE TO STAY HOME IN A SAFE PLACE (Crate, Playpen or Puppy Proof room) WITH 1 OR 2 STUFFED PUPPY KONG THEN THE PUPPY CLASS WITH ALL THE PUPPIES IS EVERY WEEK FOR 5 WEEKS, 1 LESSON 1 HOUR// WEEK..
