Puppy Kindergarten

This course is a MUST for every dog and their owner. Dogs that are obedience trained lead a happier life and can become a closer member of your family once you have the proper control. This class is also a wonderful idea for past Basic Dog Training & Obedience graduates that may be in need of a tune-up! You will learn how to apply some very simple strategies from our dog trainers that have a POSITIVE affect on the relationship your dog will have with you and the outside world. Our classes book up fast for one simple reason….. PROVEN SUCCESS!

- Your dog will learn to heel, sit, sit-stay, down, down-stay and “come” on command.
- We will focus on teaching your dog to pay attention to you, and walk on a leash without pulling.

The Landheim staff realizes some well-intentioned owners may have neither the time, patience, nor the inclination to train their dog. For these owners we provide In-Kennel Dog Training Services. Your dog is housed on our premises and professionally trained by our internationally recognized trainers. Not all dogs will be eligible for this program. Our trainers must be able to build a relationship with the dog to provide quality, high-level training; dogs that are not accepting of strangers typically do better with one of our other training programs. If you are not certain if your dog will do well in this environment, we recommend scheduling a private lesson first to evaluate your dog’s suitability and to start building rapport with our trainers.
Your dog’s stay will include:
- Multiple daily training sessions
- Private lesson with owners upon departure
- Depending on their length of stay, some boarding days included
Skills developed will include:
- Controlled walking (heeling) on a loose leash
- Sit with Stay
- Down with Stay
- Come when Called
- Correct jumping behaviors
- Establishing manners around other dogs and people
Please speak to a staff member before booking your dog’s stay to determine if other behavioral concerns can be addressed within this program.
When you schedule your dog’s stay, we will schedule your drop-off & pick-up days & times. Availability is limited; any alterations to scheduled days/times may result in extra charges and will depend on availability.
Temperament issues such as shyness, nervousness or aggression may require a longer stay or transition to another training option.
Proof of Rabies, Distemper Combo, and Bordetella is required. Titer tests accepted.
