Congratulations! You have a puppy or new dog. It’s going to be so much fun with a new furball around. But with that fun comes responsibilities. As a pet parent it’s your duty to make sure your pup is safe and safe to be around. You are responsible for their well-being and success so take the time and effort to help them adjust so they can be the best dog they can be!
This course is taught by certified dog trainer, Ian Stone, who has 10 years of experience working in animal welfare. You will watch videos with real dogs which will guide you step by step through puppy training from when you first bring your new dog home to essential dog training commands such as “Sit.” Whether you have a puppy or are training your new shelter dog, everything in this course can be applied to canine pals of any age!
Physically attending classes each week takes commitment, time, and money. This online course takes the stress out of having to be somewhere at a specific time each week for dog training. You and your furball can learn when you want, whenever and wherever you want.
