We are very pleased
to offer Puppy Preschool
to our customers.
When dogs receive
proper training, they become good
canine citizens, and are usually
considered to be wonderful family
companions.
When dogs are well
trained, they do make wonderful
companions.
When they aren't
trained, it's a very different
story. Statistics show that many of the dogs that aren't trained end up in shelters.
It would be nice
if we could just wish
upon a star or wave a magic
wand and instantly have a well trained
dog.
It just doesn't work that way.
It takes patience
& hard work.
Training your puppy can be a little
bit like walking through a dark eerie forest if you aren't fully prepared.
Pawsitive Puppy
Preschool provides a solid
foundation for your new puppy at the developmental
stage that socialization is most important.
It is also important that your puppy, not be given improper correction at this age.
Improper correction during the "fear
imprint" stage of 8-11 weeks of
age could cause behavior
problems that you could
be dealing with for a very long
time.
You will be provided
with all the information that you need to continue puppy's
education once puppy comes
home.
Pawsitive Puppy
Preschool provides an intensive five week training
program.
We use only the
most compassionate motivational methods
of instruction.
Your puppy will
learn only by pawsitive reinforcement and gentle repetition.
We believe in the
three P's ~ Patience, Practice
& Praise.
This is the "cornerstone"
of all training.
We encourage you
to add a fourth "P" to
the mix. "PERSEVERANCE"
Training will begin
at the age of 7 weeks. You will pick your
puppy up here at the age of 12
weeks.
Your puppy will
have had a head start in becoming a much
loved companion.
We will accustom
your puppy to go to bed and get up in the
morning according to your
personal schedule.
We will also implement a feeding schedule to meet your personal
schedule as well as your
puppy's needs.
If you work during
the day, and will only be
feeding morning & evening, we will need to
know the approximate
time that meals will
be served.
We train each puppy
individually using the terms
you specify.
For example, do
you prefer ~ "Let's go outside"
or "time to go outside"? "do business" or
"hurry, go potty"? "hush" or "no "bark"?
Upon receipt of
50% of the preschool
fee, we will email you
the link to gain access to six weekly lesson
plans which will be your
guideline for the first six
weeks that your puppy
is at home following puppy
preschool.
With the lesson
plans, you will learn
how to correctly reinforce what your puppy
has been taught at puppy preschool.
You will learn how to successfully continue house
training and crate training.
You will learn how to use the time out bed.
You will learn games to play with your puppy.
You will learn how to evaluate your puppy's personality.

Our puppies are
born on these beds.
Once the whelping
is over... They are transferred
to a nice clean new
bed and they are raised
on them.
They are familiar
with the beds from birth and using a similar
bed promotes an easy
transition to their new homes.
The time out method
helps us to maintain our
sanity while allowing
our dogs to still be close
to us. They are trained
to remain on their time out beds until we give the
release command.
Once time out is
mastered, you will love this
method.
It eliminates the
need for a crate when you need some
peace & quiet.

ways of approaching
an issue, and personalize
it as needed.
