Everyone who has a pet should understand that basic fact. Training is a way to enhance the quality of life for our pets. It is far more than just teaching a dog to do a cute trick. Training is about teaching a dog (or any animal) how to live in our world safely.” - Ken Ramirez, Director of Training & Behavior, Shedd Aquarium K9 Kindergarten: Puppies are currently being referred to Marlo Hiltz in Oak Ridges. ihelpyourpets@yahoo.ca or marlo@wooff.ca
Develop your puppy's brain and social skills with a special class for puppies under 18 weeks of age and their families. THIS is the time to introduce your puppy to everything he or she will meet in his/her lifetime. Your puppy will meet other dogs and people and learn how to greet politely. And it is also the time when puppies are most easy to train with basic behaviours such as sit, down, and learn to use their mouths carefully. Give your puppy a head start on life!
