Level One Obedience for Puppies

The first step to becoming a Wolf Moon pack member, Obedience 1 for Puppies is where you start if your dog is less than 6 months.

The foundation of one's relationship with their new dog is incredibly important: bring your puppy to this obedience training and set them up for life. Exposure to basic obedience and socialization at a young age is essential to establish the behavior traits necessary to become happy, confident, and well-adjusted dogs for life.

Enrolling your puppy in this course is the first step to building a balanced connection between you and will nourish their mental, physical and spiritual state. This group class teaches the foundations of obedience while providing a realistic, safe, and fun environment for puppies to socialize in. They will learn early on how to respond appropriately to their surroundings and stimuli while also developing polite manners. This class is very similar to Level 1 Obedience. Early training and exposure helps lower the risk of reactivity, problem behaviors, anxiety and strained relationships between the owner and their dog.

The teachings will include, but will not be limited to, basic obedience cues and commands such as:

  • How to lure

  • Place

  • Focus Cue

  • Sit, Sit-Stay

  • Come

  • Down, Down-Stay

  • Heel

  • Loose-leash Walking

  • Desensitization 

  • Greetings (proper socialization)

We also will go over tips to incorporate the learned obedience cues to resolve problem behaviors at home such as:

  • Jumping on owners & guests

  • Chewing

  • Puppy nipping

  • Barking

  • Digging

  • Bolting

  • Unruly Behavior in the House

  • Housebreaking
