Building your Future Rockstar for Puppies 8-20 weeks old

Come along with me as I raise my new puppy "Whoopi". There is so much for a baby puppy to learn about navigating the human world. Puppies are like little sponges; eagerly ready to learn new things and experience a new world with you. I have crafted a curriculum filled with games and experiences to set up the puppies for success in whatever direction you are headed.

FAQ

  • What age is this class appropriate for?

    This is geared towards very young puppies from 8 to 20 weeks old. However, it contains vital foundation skills that an older puppy or recently adopted dog will need.

    Yes, the curriculum is designed for puppies that will grow up to play sports. You'll find life skills, reinforcement skills and other critical must have skills in the class. Please refer to the specific curriculum outlined above.

  • Do you have working spots available?

    No, but you can add on a paid consult at any time if you want to ask questions and obtain specific guidance. Video analysis would be available if needed. The course is designed for self-study for you to work at your own pace without interacting with the instructor.

I have done many online puppy classes, but this is the best one. The content is just perfect for all of the life experiences and early training that all puppies need who will compete in sports. The content was easy to navigate and Laura's training style is positive, professional and inspirational. I highly recommend this course, even if you have an older dog, and are missing some critical foundations for learning, reinforcement or relationship building.

I did like this course because it touched on all the important things that are needed for foundations of a good agility dog. The things I liked most included the attention to how to reward puppies with play including the cues to getting the toys and to tug and release. Also , I liked that resiliency and pattern games are addressed. The nail trimming distraction video is a particularly good video as well. Overall, it was nicely done.
