PUPPY 1: ENGAGEMENT & ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Your puppy’s very first step toward training success! In this course, we’ll focus on building a fun, engaging relationship between you and your pup. You’ll learn how dogs think, what motivates them, and how to guide their energy into positive behaviors. Topics include understanding what your dog values, the 3 D’s (distance, duration, distractions), markers and rewards, leash handling, focus and attention games, luring and potty training, and safe exposure to real-world environments. By the end, you’ll have the tools to raise a confident, attentive puppy ready for the next stage.
