It takes a village to raise a puppy! This course will not only give you information and resources for training and socializing your new family member, but also a community of other humans who can support you as you and your family navigate the world of puppyhood. Come learn about how to safely socialize your puppy, get help with common puppy challenges, and build a training foundation that you can grow from for your pups entire life. Each class is taught by a certified trainer and will meet 1 hour per week for six weeks at Windell Portraits. 

During this course, you will learn the 10 behaviors required for your dog to pass The American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen Test. 

This is a great first class to learn dog training, behavior, and get a foot in the door to all of the opportunities available to you as a dog owner. You will learn how to form a bond with your dog based in mutual trust and respect and how to effectively communicate with them and teach them anything you want!

Continue your preparation for the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen Test. Your instructor is an AKC Evaluator and will administer the test on the final week of this class. If your pup passes, you will have the opportunity to send the evaluation to AKC to officially add CGC at the end of your dog's name!
