Aardvark's Dog Training Center will be offering a variety of dog training classes.
All Classes are based on the handler and dog learning as a team, and are dependent on a good relationship
between the dog and the human. Safety and having a good time with your dog are important in all classes.
Classes are taught using positive training skills. No physically punishing techniques will be used or allowed in
any class.
Class size will be limited to allow for ultimate Instructor/student/socialization ratio.
Expect to spend practice time outside of class. A few minutes of practice three or four times a day can pay
off as you and you dog's skills improve. These sessions will build a strong bond and move you both well on
your way to a long happy life together.
It is the aim of all of our classes to teach you how to be a confident "pack" leader. You will develop your and
your dog's confidence. You will achieve your goals and have a happier, more content dog.

PUPPY "K"INDERGARTEN:
Puppies begin learning at birth and their brains appear to be
particularly responsive to learning and retaining experiences that
are encountered during the first 13 - 16 weeks of life. To take full
advantage of this early special learning period, veterinarians
recommend a socialization program beginning at 8 - 12 weeks of
age as a key part of a preventative medicine program to improve
the bond between pets and their people and to keep dogs as valued
members of the family for 12 - 18 years.
Puppy "K" enrolls puppies that have had their second set of shots
through 4 months old at the start of class. (Small breed dogs may
be as old as 6 months).
We will work on Housebreaking, Name Recognition, Attention
Exercises, along with a lot of socialization with other puppies and
people.
We will provide a safe, puppy friendly environment. The cost for
this 6 week class is $110.00.
