This 4 week course offers the most effective and comprehensive Puppy Socialization Program in the area. It is proven that early and most importantly, proper socialization has a significant impact on future behavior. Your puppy is learning with every interaction they have and we need to help them make the right connections and shape their behavior and resilience early. Each week you and your puppy will be given different socialization opportunities to help them be able to respond well to situations inside and out of your home with confidence. We will work on shaping appropriate play and greetings with other puppies. This needs to be done in a very thoughtful, safe and systematic way to prevent behavior problems and reactivity in the future. Essential training and behavior problems for this age will be covered.

Level 3 - Training from the Inside, Out! (Ages - 4.5 months and up.) $198.00
In this course, you will transform the Essential Foundation Behaviors you have built into Advanced Behaviors. This means your dog will be able to respond to the behavior(s) when at a distance from the guardian, with increased duration (Stay) and around many types of distraction. This stage of training is known as fluency and is often rushed, improperly trained or skipped altogether. When this happens people will often report the dog knows the behavior-they just won’t do it, or the dog won’t respond like they do inside. It is common for a dog to respond well inside the home or whenever distractions are low. However, once outside or around heavier distractions, the dog isn't able to perform the behavior in the same way, or in some cases at all. It takes specialized training to achieve fluency and get your dog to have the right emotional state around distractions. This course will provide that and more for both ends of the leash. **Prerequisite - Level 2 Course or equivalent Foundation Training. Clients who have taken Level 2 will receive a discount code for Level 3-reach out to the trainer at 937-231-9840 or email tfisher@tippvet.com **
