100 Level - Puppy Fundamentals (8 weeks - 6 Months)

For Puppies: Aged 9 weeks - 6 months, all sizes
You can teach an old dog new tricks, but it’s a lot easier to establish good manners and habits now while your puppy is young and impressionable. We’ll work on obedience basics while also addressing some of the less adorable aspects of having a puppy: all the biting, barking, chewing, peeing, and excess energy. And we’ll work to avoid pesky future problems like jumping and pulling. Add in plenty of socialization to avoid more serious ones like fear and aggression, and you’ve got a great puppy class. Oh, and we’ll have tons of fun, too!
REQUIREMENTS: At least one set of DAPP core vaccinations, and one Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccine. One bivalent Canine Influenza vaccine (covers H3N2 & H3N8 strains of CIV) highly recommended.
*** Bordetella vaccination is not part of regular core vaccines. If you are not sure whether your puppy has received the Bordetella vaccine, please ask your veterinarian.
Classes Meet: For 4 consecutive weeks, 1 hour per week on the same day each week. 
Total instruction time: 9+ hours!
Before class: Your online orientation session will be provided to you immediately after your payment has been confirmed by our system (usually within 24 hours of your purchase). Further details for joining our class will arrive by email about 12-24 hours before your class starts.
Class Tuition: $300
Prerequisite: None
Unprecedented Extra Support: During the week, you'll have an ADDITIONAL opportunity to drop in for online "office hours". A Q & A session for you to get help on anything you're working on and an opportunity to learn from other's questions as well (if you wish). In effect, you'll get two hours of instruction for the price of one, every week!
