NEW! Introducing...
The ultimate Puppy Pass!
As per the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior www.AVSABonline.org
The primary and most important time for puppy socialization is the first three months of life.During this time puppies should be exposed to as many new people, animals, stimuli and environments as can be achieved safely and without causing over stimulation manifested as excessive fear, withdrawal or avoidance behavior.
For this reason, the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior believes that it should be the standard of care for puppies to receive such socialization before they are fully vaccinated.
Because the first three months are the period when sociability outweighs fear, this is the primary window of opportunity for puppies to adapt to new people, animals, and experiences. Incomplete or improper socialization during this important time can increase the risk of behavioral problems later in life including fear, avoidance, and/or aggression. Behavioral problems are the greatest threat to the owner-dog bond. In fact, behavioral problems are the number one cause of relinquishment to shelters.Behavioral issues, not infectious diseases, are the number one cause of death for dogs under three years of age.
While puppies’ immune systems are still developing during these early months, the combination of maternal immunity, primary vaccination, and appropriate care makes the risk of infection relatively small compared to the chance of death from a behavior problem.
Veterinarians specializing in behavior recommend that owners take advantage of every safe opportunity to expose young puppies to the great variety of stimuli that they will experience in their lives.
Enrolling in puppy classes prior to three months of age can be an excellent means of improving training, strengthening the human-animal bond, and socializing puppies in an environment where risk of illness can be minimized.
Continuing to offer dogs a wide variety of experiences during their first year of life is also helpful in preventing separation-relatedbehavior.
In general, puppies can start puppy socialization classes as early as 7-8 weeks of age. Puppies should receive a minimum of one set of vaccines at least 7 days prior to the first class and a first de-worming. They should be kept up-to-date on vaccines throughout the class. Puppy socialization classes can offer a safe and organized means of socializing puppies and more quickly improve their responsiveness to commands.Each puppy should have up-to-date vaccinations and be disease and parasite free before entering the class. Where possible, classes should be held on surfaces that are easily cleaned and disinfected (e.g. indoor environments). Visits to dog parks or other areas that are not sanitized and/or are highly trafficked by dogs of unknown vaccination or disease status should be avoided.
Tuesdays from 6:15 -9 . Puppy as young 9 wks can attend once they have had their 1st set of shots. We start off with puppy preschool from 6:15-6:50. We answer questions, and go over any concerns you may have. We start you and your puppy off with a few basics to prepare you for the next week in Junior Kindergarten. Junior Kindergarten is at 7:00 and introduces your puppy to some basic commands such as teaching the basic’s like sit, down, coming when called waiting at the door and a few tricks and of course each other. Again the puppies get to play off leash with each other. At 8:15 pm we will have Puppy sports/confidence building time. In this time frame the puppies will be introduced to tunnels, walking on different surfaces, go up and down stairs both closed and opened backed. Walking on low level raised platforms. These activities are both fun and confidence building exercises. We also use games to continue to practice skills, and this provides an excellant venue for the children in the family to "work" with and "train" the family pet. It helps give kids different and appropriate ways to play and interact with the puppy.
The Ultimate Puppy Pass allows the family to attend as many classes as they wish until the puppy is 6 months of age. (Or at the discretion of the instructor) the cost for this Pass will be 230.00
We will still offer the 6 wk JK drop in pass program for $120.00
You can also just do a 6 week drop in pass for the Confidence/Games class as well if you prefer for $120.00
The first Pre-school class for every puppy is FREE and is at 6:15
