Puppy & Dog Class Curriculum

Sirius Puppy and Dog Classes are entertaining and interactive for the whole family. Classes run one hour a week for six weeks, focusing on four major topics.

1. Prevention of Problem Behavior

• Learn how to quickly and painlessly house-train your puppy for error-free results.

• Keep jumping, barking, digging and chewing from destroying your possessions and your relationship.

• Reduce the risk of biting, separation anxiety and other serious behavioral problems.

2. Obedience

• Learn how to focus and maintain your puppy's attention as the foundation of all communication and training.

• Develop a repertoire of useful commands that will keep you in control of walks, play and social interactions.

• Practice “emergency” commands that may save your puppy's life.

3. Socialization (for both puppy and owner)

• It's vital that your puppy learn to enjoy interacting with a variety of people and dogs of different sizes and ages.

• Off-leash play sessions help establish reliable bite inhibition.

• Share the joy of learning with other owners.

4. Handling

• Sirius Puppy Classes will help make grooming- bathing, nail clipping, ear and teeth cleaning - a breeze.

• Learn to make visits to the veterinarian free from trauma for you, your puppy and the doctor.
