Free Puppy Kindergarten Seminar

puppyclass003_3.jpg

At Greenwood Labradors we believe that training should be fun for both you and your dog. We use gentle "lure and reward" techniques that are easy for you to learn and fun for your dog as well.
 
Our training program begins with a one hour Puppy Kindergarten Seminar. This seminar is sponsored by The Brooklyn Veterinary Hospital, located in Brooklyn, Connecticut and is FREE to all new puppy owners.
Topics covered include, socialization, common problems, and proper training techniques.
 
Puppies are allowed to interact freely with the other puppies and the people present.

The puppy seminar is an excellent way to start your puppy on the path to becoming a well socialized, obedient companion.

Beginner Obedience

Our Beginner Obedience class is open to puppies/dogs that are over the age of 3 months.
This is a five week class which focuses on early training, socialization and manners.
We meet once weekly for the five week session.
All dogs are evaluated at  the first class and again at the end of the five week session. We use a numerical evaluation system so you can easily judge your dogs advancement over the five week period. This is an excellent class for young puppies and dogs who need to learn the basic commands. Adult dogs, that already have some obedience training, but need to learn to work for you with the distraction of new places, new people and other dogs, will also benefit greatly from this group class.
