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.
You

the basic
commands.

bed.
You

a bed without
the program. You may
pick it
up here or it
can be shipped
for $7.95.
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.
These
adorable heart
pillows have a mother's heartbeat to
provide comfort
and help prevent separation anxiety. They
are
extra soft and fluffy. A
generous 15 inches
tall.... The
inner chamber
has soft fill. The
outer chamber
is filled with form fitting micro beads to
create the perfect
neck or body support for your puppy . It
includes a
pocket in the back that is perfect for
holding a piece
of your clothing. It
comes with a
zippered carry bag. The
digital mother's
heartbeat is on a 30 minute timer. On/off
capability.
They
are also wonderful
for everyday use in your home or
for use
in cars, crates. and
convenient
for pet travel. The
special plush
fabric also retains your scent, so your
puppy rests
reassured and
secure while
you are away. $34.95
These plush little puppies
are the
perfect size and make excellent scent
items for your
puppy. Each package contains four
small puppies for family members
and one larger puppy for the primary caregiver. Give one to each member of
your family
to sleep with or carry in their pocket for
a few hours
to attract their scent. Place them in a ziplocked bag
and return
to us before your puppy turns 10
weeks old. $16.50 + $4.50 shipping

learn at a different pace, We can
offer no
guarantees.
Dogs
and humans learn
at different
rates and in
different
ways.

our background in
various styles
of training, we are
able to
provide many
different
ways of
approaching
an issue, and
personalize
it as needed.
Our
teaching method
includes but is
not limited
to Dr. Ian
Dunbar's SIRIUS®
Puppy
Training program.

provide unlimited additional
assistance through
email beyond
what is
provided in the
Pawsitive
Puppy program.
