NEW CLASS!

The TTOUCH® Puppy

Start the life of your puppy on the right paw with the Tellington TTouch® Puppy class!

Puppy-hood is a period of intense learning.  What a dog learns at this stage could very well determine the dog’s future behavior and overall confidence. The TTouch Puppy is an ideal class prior

to a basic obedience class but it is NOT  meant as a substitution for puppy socials since most of the work we will be doing will be on leash.

Through a series of groundwork exercises, touches and body wraps, your puppy will learn:

·       To feel comfortable and secure in a myriad of novel situations, including noises, stepping on different surfaces, gentle restrain and grooming etc.

·       Self-control

·       Confidence to explore new surroundings with curiosity instead of fear

·       To be calm in the presence of dogs and unfamiliar people

·       Improved focus and overall learning ability

·       Increase trust in guardian

Guardians will learn:

• About their pup’s specific learning challenges
• How to encourage learning while building confidence
• How to build trust and independence in their pet
• How to work with their pup when difficult or scary situations arise in everyday life
