Thank you for your interest in THE RIGHT STEPS Senior Puppy Training Classes! These classes have been designed to help you obtain the best possible puppy! The early months of life are crucial to your puppy’s development, both physically and mentally. These classes focus on teaching puppy owners positive methods of getting the behavior they want. Classes are for all size and breeds of puppies (both mixed and pure bred and from toy, small, medium, large, to giant sized breeds). Senior Puppy Class- A Senior Puppy is a puppy between the ages of 16 weeks and 32 weeks at the start of the first class. The classes run for 6 weeks. The Right Steps reserves the right to decline any puppy’s participation in the play group if it is warranted as play group is for friendly and nice playing puppies only, as the goal of the play session is the bulk of the puppies have positive play experiences.

Additional Class Information: Owner education is provided on positive solutions to problem puppy behavior (examples: play biting, jumping, house training, leadership, learn what motivates puppies, and much more). Attention, eye contact and name recognition form the base for teaching behaviors such as sit, come, stand, down (from a sit and from a stand), stay (both sit and down stay), walk on a loose leash, and heel. In class we use a "Reward Mark" in place of using a "Clicker". Training begins by using hand signals first, once puppy fully understands the hand signal and owners are standing in a normal upright position, verbal cues are then added. This enables owners to give their verbal cues once, versus repeat cues that the puppy would learn to ignore. We teach owners to be able to get and maintain their puppy's attention with distractions. Owners are taught how to use rewards (treats, toys, play, and praise) properly to motivate their puppy. The class Puppy play and interaction is encouraged in the Senior Puppy classes to develop positive experiences and good communication skills. No people or dog aggressive puppies are allowed in puppy group classes. Puppies found to have aggression issues (either dog or people) will be pulled from the Sr. Puppy Class and additional training options will be referred.
