Fear is the easiest things to condition in dogs and the hardest to resolve. Fear can come from many places, many of which we don't control. This infographic is my most downloaded and shared resource. In fact, many vets and Veterinary Behaviorists use this handout with their own clients! Link in first comment to grab your own copy.

Date/Time: Aug 07, 2024, 6:00 p.m. EDT – Aug 28, 2024, 6:45 p.m. EDT

Location: 🗺️ TailWaggersK9Sport, Fred's Dog Gym, 573 Lubitz Rd, Pembroke, ON

Hey there, fellow dog lovers! 🐾 Have you recently welcomed a new furry member into your family? Are you looking to kickstart your puppy's socialization and training but in a way that’s both fun and effective? Well, you’re in luck!

Our unique puppy training course is designed with you and your adorable pup in mind. We keep our groups small, ensuring every tail-wagger gets the personal attention they deserve. This is not your average training class; it’s a comprehensive guide to understanding and nurturing your growing puppy in the best ways possible. 🐶💕

Here’s what you’ll discover in our course:

Personalized Guidance: Our sessions provide real, actionable advice on socializing your dog. And yes, it’s about more than just letting dogs greet each other.

Enrichment Activities: Learn how to weave fun, enriching activities into your daily routine, boosting your pup’s happiness and well-being.

Essential Husbandry Skills: Say goodbye to grooming woes. We’ll teach you how to make your pup love (okay, maybe just like) their grooming and nail trim sessions.

Puppy Development Insights: Understand crucial aspects of puppy behavior like bite inhibition and what’s really behind that mouthing.

Plus, our course includes interactive skill-building activities, a Q&A with our expert instructors, and even post-session video support and homework to ensure you and your pup thrive together, every step of the way.

Before you join, here’s what you need to know:

A Safe Space for All: For everyone’s safety, we welcome children over 12 to take part, with a double leash method enforced for added security.

Vaccination Requirements: Your little buddy needs to have had their 2nd set of shots, including Bordetella, to ensure a safe environment for all our furry students.

And the best part? If your pup is playing catch-up on vaccinations, we offer mid-course entry (space permitting) so no one misses out on the fun.

Ready to start an incredible journey with your pup? Visit our website now and take the first step towards nurturing a happy, well-behaved furry friend. Together, we’ll explore the joys of puppyhood, creating unforgettable memories and unbreakable bonds.
