Puppy & Me
Open Enrollment Classes
Class Info
Puppy & Me is now ‘Open Enrollment!’ – for puppies under 16 weeks of age, you can start class right away (based on availability), and continue attending for four weeks (with the option to add on). This customized approach ensures that your puppy experiences positive socialization at just the right time!
Each Puppy & Me team starts and finishes at different times. Which also means, you don’t have to wait for a new class start date! As long as there’s space, your welcome to join!
If your pup is over 16 weeks, please see Private Lessons or our Teammates Program.
If you have any questions or concerns about when to start puppy classes the answer is right away! Here are some resources – what about puppy shots?
So, it’s an exciting time! You’re either a pile of heavenly puppy “mush” or you’re wondering “what have I done!”. Either way, Puppy & Me welcomes you. We’ll get busy having fun, exploring novelty, building your relationship, teaching puppy-sized skills and focus on supporting your pup’s critical early development – THIS sets the groundwork!
When: Wednesdays at 6pm (ongoing)
Where: DOG-HAPPY TEAMMATES Enrichment Center, 16 Norton Drive Uxbridge
What if I’m the only Puppy & Me student in class? NO PROBLEM and in many ways, this is a bonus for the one-to-one time you’ll recieve! You’re still ‘socializing’ your puppy as socialization is NOT all about interaction with other puppies – it’s SO MUCH MORE than that! I have so many great experiences awaiting you and your puppy – to grow your pups confidence in this ‘crazy’ human world and your confidence in how to manage the many scenarios that are sure to arise with a new pup!
Includes
→ 4 x 10-minute educational online video material. Welcoming a puppy to their new home is a big change! Delivering so much content, in way that allows us to see each piece of the whole picture. It speaks to “all the things” I want to share with my clients, but couldn’t possibibly fit it into to a one-hour lesson or consultation. This sets you up for all you need to know, before we even get to teaching skills!
→ Accompanying workbook that provides a roadmap to create a plan for the whole family and a place to refer back to, an empowering guide, to troublshoot struggles. It’s also fun and interactive if you have young children.
→ 4 x 50-minute in-person indoor classes (with the option to explore our outdoor Enrichment Center)
→ We explore: relationship building/’getting to know each other’ with simple fun games – recall, handling, taking turns, confidence & optimism development, observation of how your pup processes, learning to notice body language, puppy play and downtime breaks too!
→ Unlimited email support, demo videos, handouts
→ Option to add on more classes at $45 per class (tx incl)
Investment – $270 (tx incl)
Are You Preparing to Bring Your New Puppy Home Soon?
If you’re preparing to bring your new puppy home soon, I highly recommend purchasing the 40-min online course material and accompanying guidebook. This is a truly incredible investment to prepare your home and your family for this big change!
This part of the Puppy & Me package provides practical guidance about how to prepare your home to create safe spaces for your pup (and your children), what to do/what not to do, how to begin to understand what your puppy may be experiencing through how they’re communicating, how to respond to this, and so much more! It’s an exciting time for us for sure, yet it’s important to keep in mind, it can be scary for our new puppy!
If you’d like to break the package into two parts, we can do that!
Investment – $85 (tx incl)
(the balance of $185 is paid when you’re ready to jump into Puppy & Me classes)
