Our Puppy Kindergarten class is designed as an interactive environment to allow you to learn the skills necessary to integrate your new puppy into your life and home.  This class teaches you how to understand your puppy's signals  and properly communicate your wishes to help facilitate rapid learning.  The first few weeks in a new environment is a crucial time for bonding and learning.  This class will help you teach your puppy skills that will help him become a successful and cherished part of your family.
In this supervised group setting, puppies will socialize with other pups and learn to behave well  in the presence of other dogs . Games , stimulation and distraction will encourage your pup to learn and accept new and different environments. Exercises designed to  build confidence will also be employed. We will begin learning basic behaviors such as learning to sit, down, walk well on lead, come when called  and the beginning stages of stay.  Our instructors can also help with advice on house braking, crate training and behavior issues.
This class is open to pups 8 weeks to 5 months of age.

Private Training  Classes
.Private classes are taught one on one with you and your dog.  In a private setting we are able to concentrate on addressing specific needs or behavior problems.  Each class is scheduled individially so we so we are better able to accomodate a flexible schedule.
Classes typically run about 50 minutes . They can be purchased in single units but there is a price break for bundling lessons into blocks.
Please call to schedule an evaluation lesson.
Board and Train
.Our board and Train Program allows you to drop your dog off to stay with us for a couple weeks or more for intense training.We teach basic obedience, teach social skills and address  behavior problems . The  dog will be worked by one or more of our competent trainers on  a regular schedule while he/she stays with us at Paws Here. There is regular communication with the owner by updates to advise of progress or problems.. Once the preset goals are achieved we will meet again with the owners for a lesson or two to make sure that all correct commands are being used and the  the dog understands clearly and everyone is working on the same page.  Because of the uniqueness of this program we normally start with an evaluation lesson. Please call with questions or to schedule a consultation.
