PUPPY TRAINING CLASS

  Owners will be taught how to view their puppy from a new prospective. All family members are encouraged to participate which maintains consistency and harmony at home.

     Our focus will be on off lease puppy socialization. Hand signals as well as spoken commands will be used in class. The learning experience will include the following: sit, stay, leash walking, and the proper start for a recall. Some of the subjects the course will cover are: housebreaking your puppy, inappropriate chewing, garden digging, puppy biting, jumping up and other forms of unwanted behavior. You will learn to understand why these behaviors are happening and how to prevent them.

     Wency is the first trainer in Santa Barbara to offer Puppy Training Classes modeled after the successful methods originated by Dr. Dunbar, an Animal Behaviorist and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at UC Berkeley.
