BonaFide Puppy Foundations (Flex) Life has a funny way of interfering with weekly dog training classes, so we’ve set up a BonaFide Puppy Foundations flex class that will allow you to attend classes around your schedule! Complete the class in as few as two weeks or as many as eight – you decide! BonaFide’s Puppy Foundations class provides the perfect balance between socialization and training for puppies approximately 12 weeks to 5 months old. Each 45 minute class will be divided into socialization, basic training and discussion time designed to make learning fun for you and your puppy. By interacting with other puppies in a supervised, carefully-structured socialization period, your puppy will learn valuable skills that only other dogs can teach him. He will learn to control his biting strength and appropriately interact with other dogs – vital skills for a bite-free, fight-free life. Your puppy will also be gently exposed to various everyday sights and sounds while having a great time with his new puppy friends so he develops confidence in new situations. During the training portion of the class you will learn how to teach your puppy to settle down in new environments, offer eye contact, come when called, sit, down, leave things alone and follow you on lead. We will use positive reinforcement training methods that won’t stress you or your puppy. Our brief talks each week will cover topics such as housetraining, puppy fear periods, chewing, crate training and other issues of interest to all puppy parents. If you just want to focus on one or two skills intensively with your puppy, you may attend the same module up to six times! When you enroll your puppy in this class, you will receive a credit for six sessions to use within eight weeks from date of purchase. Please check out the class calendar to see when each module is scheduled.
