About Us
Laura's early work with German Shepherd dogs taught her the importance of being a strong leader. It is much more to Laura than just sit, down, heel and stay. It is the little things that make a difference. Respect of body space, respect of door ways, having a dog that accepts restraint and handling and gets along with other dogs and people. Home management; practical ideas to teach the pup to be good in the house and yard!
This class is much more obedience-oriented than is typical of puppy classes. We start with treats and positive reinforcement to teach Come, Sit, Down, Heel and Stay. As the dogs get more consistent, we start to wean off of the food as a main lure and reward and teach you how to use your voice and leash to back up your words. As a result we get a lot more done in the five week course than is typical of most puppy classes.
