Set your puppy up for success by joining the Summit K9 Puppy Head Start Class!

🐕 Thursdays at 5:15pm | Class begins May 28th 🐕

Our 6-Class Puppy Head Start Course goes beyond basic obedience to help you understand how dogs learn, communicate, and build lasting habits. In this 6-week course, you’ll develop practical training skills while teaching your puppy key behaviors like leash walking, coming when called, settling calmly, and confidently navigating the world around them. The result is not only a dog who follows commands, but a confident dog who learns to look to you for guidance and direction in everyday life!

This is the class for you if you want a dog that:
🌟listens to your commands.
🌟can settle and relax on cue.
🌟comes when you call them.
🌟walks nicely on a leash.
🌟is properly socialized to new people, dogs, and other distractions.
🌟has a well rounded skill set that prevents problems before they start!

After sharing tips for preparing your dog for the holidays, I was inspired to put something together for Thanksgiving morning! For those of you looking for a great way to kick off the holiday with friends, meet me, Rocky, and Sprite for our first Thanksgiving Turkey Trot Training Walk at Buckland park 🦃🐾

Before the family gatherings and food comas kick in, let’s get outside, practice some skills, and enjoy a little adventure as a group. This walk is all about:
🍗 getting your dog’s energy out
🍗 strengthening leash walking + basic obedience skills
🍗 having fun with real-world distractions
🍗 trying out some training games
🍗 and maybe even some post-class dog-dog social time for the right dogs!

Perfect obedience is not required, but basic leash skills and the ability to hold simple positions (sit and down) is recommended for the optimal experience. The class is reactive- and nervous-dog friendly, and is meant to be a relaxed, judgement-free chance to get out, explore, and build confidence before a busy holiday.

If you’re unsure whether your dog is a good fit, feel free to email us at [email protected] - we’re happy to provide you with our recommendation!

How to Join:
Head to summitk9.propetware.com, log in, and register! New clients are welcome - you’ll just need to complete your account and upload vaccinations before signing up.

We hope you can join us! Let’s start the holiday with fresh air, good company, and some fun training together 🥾
