Thursday, October 15 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm at HOME!
Ah, puppy smell… But then there’s puppy teeth. And poop. And pee. And jumping, whining, barking, biting at your clothes, destroying your favorite shoes, rug, blinds, sofa. Trainers routinely get panicked and frustrated calls from humans wondering what happened to their cute, sweet, snuggly puppy, and what to do with this mouthy, crazy critter wreaking havoc in the home.
In this single session, fast-paced, online class, we’ll cover basic puppy development and needs, as well as how to manage and modify behavior, improve potty training, stop the biting, and start enjoying your dog again. There will be handouts, resources, and plenty of time for Q+A.
