If you are planning to adopt or have recently adopted a puppy, our team at Sublime K9 Training & Boarding strongly encourage you to enroll your new friend in puppy training classes. In the same way that children need education to grow into intelligent and capable adults, puppies need training to grow into friendly and dependable dogs.
Keep reading to learn about a few of the benefits our puppy training classes have to offer.
- Learn how to redirect problematic behavior. Our puppy training classes offer benefits for both the puppies and their humans. For example, in our classes, you will learn to spot your puppy’s problematic behavior and learn strategies to redirect their energy into preferable activities. For example, when you see your pup chewing on your shoes, it’s more effective to redirect their attention to a chew toy than it is to yell at them for this instinctive behavior.
- Socialize your puppy. Another key benefit of our puppy training program is the way it helps your pup become socialized. In this context, socialization refers to the process of teaching puppies and dogs how to properly interact with humans and other animals. It’s essentially teaching your dog good manners. Properly socializing your pup will make their life easier, as they will be able to get along better with other dogs, with veterinarians, and with your family and neighbors.
- Strengthen your bond. A third benefit of our puppy training classes is the way they help deepen your bond with your new canine friend. You and your puppy will get to know each other better, learning about each other’s personalities. In addition, you’ll learn how to spot and reward your dog’s good behavior, which also helps strengthen the bond between you.
