The Fundamentals

Focus

the ability to pay attention to you despite distractions
the building block of all skill-building

Self Control

being able to pause and reset when becoming overstimulated
being able to wait calmly in exciting circumstances (treats, doors, putting on leash, new people...)
being able to settle on a bed, in a crate...

Confidence

the willingness to try new things
trust in their handler to keep them safe
the result of positive experiences

Our Program

We use a variety of exercises, games and experiences to build focus, self control and confidence. For the youngest puppies we begin with tactile and sound based experiences, and simple skills and movement. Puppies progress to more complex skills, more intensive experiences and more challenging strength and balance developing activities. After receiving their 12 week old round of vaccinations, puppies will begin meeting and interacting with dogs. Throughout this process, distraction is gradually increased.

Your puppy will be training in our large indoor play area and outdoors in both our puppy specific and Canine Montessori outdoor yards. We are always monitoring the temperature and outdoor conditions to keep your puppy healthy.
