Bringing a new puppy home is one of the most exciting events in anyone’s life! Being well-prepared for the arrival will definitely help organize your thoughts. Having a plan of action ready to go will avoid frustration and those “what do I do now” moments. Typical puppy classes are great for socializing with other dogs and humans and exploring some basic skills in a distracting environment, but they generally don’t provide enough information about how to raise your puppy to avoid nuisance and problem behaviors as your puppy matures.
Elisabeth is here to help you integrate your puppy quickly and easily, with an emphasis on raising a well-adjusted, confident dog. Puppy guidance touches upon all aspects of raising and managing your puppy successfully, including: housetraining, crate training (if desired), reinforcing polite manners, preventing fear and anxiety triggers, accepting and enjoying grooming and vet visits, as well as the body awareness that will allow your puppy to learn continuously throughout life.
Raise your puppy in a kind, force-free and playful atmosphere. Gain an excellent understanding of how positive reinforcement actually works and will empower you to shape your dog’s behavior throughout your lives together.
