Young Learners – Salem

This is a great stand-alone class, or continuation of our Best Beginnings. We will focus on practicing attention on you, walking on leash, and recall around distractions through a variety of fun games. We will cover impulse regulation exercises, such as “stay” and “leave it,” and calm relaxation around distractions.

The first class is for people only; please leave your puppy at home.

Requirements

  • Age 16–24 weeks (4–6 months) at the start of class (not at the time you sign up online).
  • Up-to-date on vaccinations. Your puppy must have received at least one round of a distemper/parvo combination vaccine at least seven days prior to attending class. Bordetella vaccine is recommended. Rabies vaccination and spay/neuter are not required since dogs are under 1 year of age.
  • Healthy and free of any symptoms of illness. No coughing, sneezing, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. within 24 hours of class.
