Understanding what is normal and safe play with puppies can be difficult for new guardians. At Jenn's Dogs our puppy training will help you recognize and facilitate safe play between puppies. Your puppy will learn how to give and respond to play invites, and when and how to say they have had enough. Learning different play styles at a young age leads to adaptability and better understanding of their fellow canines as Adults.
Strengthen the natural bond you are already forming with your new family member. Developing secure attachment is an important part of raising a well adjusted adult. During Puppy classes our expert trainers guide you in how to foster a healthy connection while in a highly stimulating and distracting environment.
Our puppy dog training classes are more than play! By starting early with puppy classes, you are exposing your dog to real world experiences during their crucial sensitivity stage. During your time with us, your puppy will interact with a variety of other puppies and people. In addition to new surfaces, noises, smells, and movement. In addition, if you are coming from neighboring cities like Hillsboro and Cornelius, your dog will also learn better car manners!

In Level 0: Puppy Life skills we will cover a wide range of topics that are essential for ell adjusted adult dogs. Part of each class is dedicated to play time, where your puppy can learn appropriate canine language, and get some face time with their own species. Each session also includes an enrichment activity, and practice for husbandry skills. This will prepare your pet for essential grooming and health visits later in life. You will also learn some quick and easy cues to be able to begin setting rules and boundaries around your house, and we will cover exposure to novel sounds and surfaces.
All Puppies should be on track with their DHPP boosters, as recommended by their vet. Puppies are too young for Rabies. Your puppy may not have completed all of their boosters at the start of class. This is OK! If you wait for booster to be complete, your puppy will have aged out of the class.
Each session is 50 minutes
Level 0: Puppy Life skills is 7 sessions.
This is a concern for all of us! We routinely sanitize the studio floor and all equipment with a dog specific germicide to ensure safety for all pets on our property. We pick up waste and sanitize the area immediately to avoid any possible contamination. The yard for the Jenn's Dogs Training Studio is fully fenced, so no unknown dogs are allowed on the property at any time, and all dogs that are coming onto the property are fully vetted and with their Guardians. Dogs and People who are sick are encouraged to stay home!
