Sport Puppy Foundations  ****CLASS FULL***
Time: 4 p.m. Monday
Start Date: September 27

This class will introduce handlers and puppies ages 2 to 9 months to foundations that can be applied to dog sports and dog training. 

Dogs will learn: luring, shaping, targeting, duration, life skills, and toy play. 

Handlers will learn: the value for shaping, clear communication with their dogs, and how to teach behavior concepts that will translate to dog sports and fitness.
