Kicked out of puppy school with nowhere to go. Until now! (Photo: Tan-coloured puppy looking sad and laying on its side)
Puppy school was an awful experience for you and your puppy. You didn’t get the one-on-one guidance that you needed. Your puppy was singled out as the “naughty” one and it made you feel anxious and embarrassed. You didn’t attend all of the sessions because the other puppies were bullies and your puppy seemed afraid to go to class. Some of you even got asked to leave because your puppy was disruptive. You had nowhere to go — until now.
So many of my in-home clients have a puppy school story like this. They felt embarrassed, singled-out, ignored, and anxious. Quite a few also felt that their instructor was mean and rude.
We created Puppy School Dropouts for owners just like you.
Finally! A small class size where you can get your questions answered and solve your puppy problems. (Photo: Woman jumping for joy)
You deserve one-on-one attention and an instructor who is kind.
We’re keeping the class size small. With only four participants, there’s lots of space for everyone which makes it easier for puppies and adolescent dogs to learn and listen to their owners.
If you’re struggling with:
-pulling on the leash
-chewing inappropriate items (baseboards, flooring, remote controls, etc)
-selective listening (especially when you’re calling your pup out of your backyard)
-barking out the window (and at every noise outside)
then this is the class for you!
If you’re struggling with leash pulling, this is the class for you! (Photo: large brown dog pulling hard through his flat collar)
You’ll learn:
-loose leash walking to stop leash pulling
-place command
-recall (how to get your dog to come to you the first time you call)
-car manners
-how to help your pup be neutral and calm around other dogs
You’ll also learn:
-how to use those skills in the real world because no one wants a puppy who was a rockstar in class to be a nightmare in the home
You’ll learn how to get your pup to pay attention to you instead of ignoring you (especially around distractions.) Photo: A white dog sitting on the grass looking up at his owner.
If you weren’t kicked out of puppy school, you can still join this super fun class. So many of our clients say that they only learned “sit” and “shake a paw” at puppy class. There are so many more important things you need to know in order to have an amazing relationship with your pup. Sit and shake a paw don’t help your dog know not to jump on Great Aunt Suzie, that the food on your countertop is not for them, or that chasing the cat is off limits.
Imagine life with a quiet household. No more yelling at your dog to stop barking out the window, to leave that tea towel alone, to drop that kid’s toy for the nineteenth time that day. That level of peace and harmony is so easily achieved when your dog learns the place command. Sign up now to reserve your spot.
This class is for pups aged 16 weeks - 7 months. If your pup is not in this age group, don’t panic. Send us an email to be added to the wait list. Be sure to let us know your pup’s age.
If your pup has severe reactivity or aggression, in-home sessions will be a better fit for them to learn without distractions and build a solid foundation with you.
Join us for four one-hour sessions, beginning Wednesday, October 18 at 6:30 PM.
Location: Pinetree Pet Resort (5951 Highway #6 Guelph, ON N1H 6J2)
Our location allows us to work both indoors and outdoors. Please dress appropriately for the weather so that you can enjoy all that class has to offer and be comfortable while doing so.
Spaces are limited to four participants, so reserve your spot now.
Sign up now so you don’t miss out.
You’ll find this class under GROUP CLASSES.
Looking forward to seeing you and your pup in class!
Have a wonderful weekend, Dog Leaders!
