Puppy Classes

Puppy Preschool
Your puppy’s training begins the moment you bring him or her home, even if you don’t realize it. It is estimated that last year over 4 million pets were euthanized in this country alone, primarily by owners who got off to a bad start with their new pet and behavior problems followed. During the first 16 weeks of a puppy’s life is when they form the majority of their attitudes towards their environment, including people and other animals. New puppy owners shape the behavior of their new canine companion, even if they’re not in a formal training program.

To assist in preventing possible future behavior problems and to get the new puppy started off on the right paw, Northern Kentucky K9 offers a broad program for new owners. We’ll educate owners on how to teach their puppy limits they can understand, confidence building, proper handling, the importance of proper socialization, effective communication, how to decrease behavior issues and to better understand their new puppy’s needs. Owners will have the opportunity to ask questions of a professional trainer regarding their puppy and receive guidance on possible causes and solutions to problems. The important topics of house breaking, play biting, toy selection, grooming and much more are also covered. Owners will receive a packet of valuable information relating to the health and proper care of their new puppy. (Young, well-mannered family members are encouraged to participate so the whole family knows how to handle their new puppy.)

Puppy Parties - NEW!!!

It’s a Party… A PUPPY PARTY!!!

Puppy Parties offer an excellent opportunity for socialization!

Veterinarians and dog trainers agree; early socialization for your puppy is crucial to the development of a well rounded, adult dog. Socializing with other puppies before your puppy is fully vaccinated can be a challenge due to health exposure concerns but this is the time period when it matters most to their development. In a public setting, you don't always know if your puppy is being exposed to other puppies/dogs that have not been vaccinated, making them vulnerable to illnesses. We've created a safer environment! Puppy Parties are held in an indoor, clean area and are only open to puppies who have had at least one round of vaccinations. In addition to socializing with other puppies of similar age but with varying personalities, your puppy will also meet a variety of new people and be exposed to numerous new objects to assist in building confidence. We'll begin each party with a 10 min Q & A with a trainer to assist with some challenging behaviors or guidance, play "Pass the Puppy" to work on handling exercises and allow the puppies to play off-leash together in a supervised environment.

Who - Any breed or breed mix, ages 8-16 weeks with at least one round of vaccinations and in overall good health. Vaccination records are required prior to entering the party.
