In Puppy Socialization & Exploration, we teach the fundamentals of place, touch, recall, loose leash walking, paw to the button for house training and husbandry (intro to nail trims, teeth brushing). We also have discussions about housetraining, crate training, enrichment, puppy biting and how to set up home alone training. Then, each week we explore different novel stimuli (kids toys, things the roll, obstacles and surfaces) Puppies will have the opportunity to socialize with their classmates at the beginning and end of each class. Puppies are separated by play style to ensure a successful playtime experience.
