Introducing your new puppy to the world can be an exciting yet challenging experience. Our Puppy Basics program at Evergreen Canine Academy is designed specifically for young pups, providing them with the essential skills they need to thrive and become well-behaved adult dogs. This dedicated one-week stay offers a comprehensive training package that emphasizes foundational behaviors and positive social experiences. Our expert trainers will work closely with your puppy in a nurturing environment, setting them up for success both at home and in the community.
Training Focus
Throughout the Puppy Basics program, we concentrate on several key areas to lay the groundwork for your puppy's development.
Training focus
Basic Command Foundations
Your puppy will learn the foundations to essential commands such as sit, stay, and come. These foundational cues are crucial for effective communication and will help establish a positive relationship between you and your furry friend.
Crate Training and Potty Training
We will introduce your puppy to crate training, teaching them to view their crate as a safe and comfortable space. Additionally, we will work on housebreaking techniques to help your puppy understand where and when it is appropriate to relieve themselves, minimizing accidents in your home.
Socialization with People and Other Animals
Socialization is vital for a well-adjusted dog. During their stay, your puppy will have opportunities to interact with people and other animals in a controlled setting. This exposure will help them build confidence and learn appropriate social behaviors, reducing the likelihood of fear or aggression as they grow.
Bite Inhibition and Play Manners
Puppies naturally explore the world with their mouths, so teaching bite inhibition is essential. Our trainers will guide your puppy in learning how to interact gently during play, helping them understand the importance of using their mouth appropriately. This training will contribute to safer interactions with both humans and other dogs.
