First Friend Dog Training

Puppy Program (up to 16 weeks old)

Getting a new puppy can be a very exciting, yet frustrating, time.  Let us help you get off on the 'right paw' with your new little one!  We offer a 3 session program that utilizes your puppy's developmental stages to help build a solid foundation for your pup.  This foundation will help your puppy grow into a confident, well-adjusted, happy dog.

Sessions will include walking with you on a leash, developing a housebreaking schedule, socialization, grooming tips, feeding schedule, play biting, and introduction to obedience commands.  We will also answer any questions you may have specifically about your puppy.

 

The Basic Manners Program will teach you how to teach your dog how to become a 'mannerly mutt' and give you off-leash control around your home.

Three lessons are initially booked for the Basic Manners Program. 

The following concepts/commands will be taught:

  • off of furniture
  • no jumping on people
  • Leave It
  • eliminate play biting
  • walking with you (loose leash)
  • Come when called (around the home)

The Advanced Obedience Program will teach you the tools you will need for off-leash control of your dog within a matter of weeks.

This program is structured to be 6 weeks long. 

The following concepts/commands will be taught:

  • off of furniture
  • no jumping on people
  • Leave It
  • eliminate play biting
  • SIT (stay)
  • DOWN (stay)
  • PLACE (bed, rug, mat)
  • loose leash walking
  • COME to you (off-leash)

**FFDT acknowledges and respects all local leash laws.  "Off Leash" refers to areas where dogs are not required to be on lead.
