When you have a new puppy in your life, it is easy to get
overwhelmed by all the skills your puppy needs to master in order
to be a well-behaved, well-rounded, confident adult dog.  Puppies are wonderful
and endearing and easy to love, but without consistent guidance, they can morph
into rambunctious and obnoxious family members once they hit adolescence.

Your job as a new puppy parent is to provide them with behavior guidance as well
as the socialization they need to gain confidence and skills in the world.  Every
puppy can learn that calm polite behavior is the key to getting access to all good
things in the world.

The trainers at Fuzzy Buddy's have developed a thorough puppy training program
to help you succeed in raising a dog who is well-socialized and fun to live with.
Research on challenging behaviors in adult dogs has helped us devise class
exercises designed to produce good habits from the beginning. 

Class exercises include:
+Handling experiences by different people in different ways to help your pup get comfortable being touched in all the crazy ways vets, groomers, kids, visitors, and strangers will want to touch him in the coming years.

+Learning calm behaviors to use to earn the ability to do something fun like greet another dog or meet a new person.  This helps build the self control and frustration tolerance we like our dogs to have as welcomed members of our household. 

+Establishing a good foundation for polite greetings to humans, keeping four feet
on the floor or sitting to say, "hello".

+Exposure to new sights and sounds, and different types of people moving in
different ways, helps the puppy learn the world is a safe place.  Fearful pups will
get special coaching as we increase their confidence in the world.

+Supervised puppy play times, so both humans and puppies can get feedback
and coaching on good puppy play manners.

+Introduction of key basic manners skills such as leave it, drop it, and walking politely on leash. 

+Instruction on dealing with the common puppy challenges that families
experience in their homes such as puppy biting, house-training issues, and
chewing.
