Petite Pals - Puppy 3
Prerequisite: Puppy 2
This class is specifically designed for the petite pal in your life. What is a petite pal? A dog that is older than 9 months but still under 25lbs! When you have a small dog it's difficult to adequately maintain training when they are so much smaller than all the other dogs in the class. They often get lost in the shuffle or are overwhelmed by the big dogs. Yes, it's important to socialize your small dog to the big wide world but you also have to take their smaller size into special consideration. This class will allow your petite pal to continue to learn in a less fearful environment because all the dogs are small. This class will focus on small dog challenges like navigating the world full of big dogs and mastering basics like sit, down, stay, coming when called, polite leash manners and appropriate greetings.
