Maximizing Your Experience

Book Early

Early enrollment ensures you don’t miss out on this valuable early training opportunity. Spots can fill up quickly and often have a waiting list due to high demand, so be sure to book as soon as possible to secure your spot.

Arrive Early

Arriving 10 minutes early allows your puppy to acclimate to the new environment, easing any initial excitement or nervousness. This extra time also gives you a chance to discuss any private concerns or specific questions with the trainer before the class begins.

Attendance

The main caregiver should consistently attend all classes to maintain continuity in training and learning. This consistency helps reinforce the techniques and lessons covered each week. If participants are under 18 years old, a parent or guardian must accompany them to provide support and guidance, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

Consistency

It’s crucial that all family members follow the same training rules at home. Inconsistent commands or differing expectations can confuse your puppy, making it harder for them to learn and retain new behaviors.

Human Learning

Human Learning: Remember, Puppy Preschool is as much for the humans as it is for the puppies! The training techniques, communication methods, and behavior insights you gain during class are just as important as what your puppy is learning.
