Class size is limited to 8 teams. The classroom is 2500 square feet. The flexible program structure ensures there will always be room for you in your preferred class time.
Main Concepts
Teach your dog to do behaviours you like
Ensure they have appropriate hobbies
Set boundaries/rules/routines to encourage peaceful coexistence
In this program we teach foundation skills – auto attention, name recognition, loose leash walking, coming when called, drop it/trade, polite greetings, getting on/off surfaces when asked, lying down on a mat, hand target, head through a hoop and so much more! We also address common behaviours like mouthing/biting, resource guarding, house training, and so on. Everything is carefully planned for enrichment and is based on how dogs learn.
Bright Puppy Primer
Your first lesson is called the Bright Puppy Primer. It is an Orientation class that you attend with your puppy. We do on-going entry starting new families twice a week. All family members are welcome to attend. Your first lesson will either be on a Tuesday or a Saturday. The Primer is only attended once. After you have attended the first lesson we will send you a link to a simple reservation calendar so that you can start booking your Bright Puppy lessons.
Tuesdays 7:00-8:15pm
Saturdays 9:45-11:00am
