Puppy Level 1: Introduction to Training
Strengthen obedience fundamentals, deepen your bond, and build focus with fun, age-appropriate training games.
About This Class
Puppy Level 1 builds on early skills and focuses on strengthening obedience fundamentals while deepening the relationship between you and your puppy. You’ll work on core cues like sit, down, stay, come, and leash skills, along with structured games designed to improve focus, impulse control, and confidence around distractions. Training stays fun, positive, and age-appropriate — helping puppies learn without pressure or overwhelm.
This class is also about developing teamwork. You’ll learn how to communicate clearly, reinforce calm behavior, and respond thoughtfully to real-world challenges like greetings, movement, and new environments. By the end of Puppy Level 1, you’ll have a stronger bond with your puppy, a solid training routine, and the tools to continue building reliable behavior as your puppy grows.
