Train now to prevent behavioral issues later
This on-demand online course covers the essential early training topics for your young pup (8 – 16 weeks). We’ll cover puppy biting, jumping, resource guarding, leash pulling and more.
Our Online Puppy Seminar is recommended (but not required) as a prerequisite to this class. In the online seminar you’ll learn about the latest research-based techniques for integrating your pup into your household. This includes crucial topics like house training, happy crating, enrichment, socialization and much more.
This Online Puppy Preschool class builds on the learning from the Online Puppy Seminar, with a shift to training exercises for the young pup (less than 16 weeks). Many common behavior issues can be avoided by focusing on these important lessons while your pup is still in his critical socialization period. After completing this curriculum, pups are ready to start Manners 1 class.
