Virtual Puppy Raising Course

Raising Your Pandemic Puppy

Let Fetch Please Dog Training help with our new Virtual Puppy Raising During a Pandemic Course!  You’ll get weekly training video that are readily available to you whenever YOUR schedule allows it.  You’ll have the opportunity to join one live session per week to practice and demonstrate skills without the distraction of other dogs in the same room, plus a Q and A with the trainer.  Best part?  You don’t have to leave the comfort of your home for lessons!
For $140, and with just a few clicks, you can get your puppy started on the right paw even in the middle of a pandemic.  The materials for the 6-week course will be available starting May 25th!  Call or email Fetch Please today to sign-up!

Puppy Play Time

Proper socialization is KEY in helping your puppy develop into a strong and confident dog.  Our Puppy Play Time class helps accomplish the socialization goals set by AKC's STAR Puppy Program, and get your puppy's zoomies worked out before participating in a group training session.

Participating dogs must:

• Have a clean bill of health for every play date

• Have at least 2nd round of shots

• 3-5 months old

Clients will be required to bring their puppy in beforehand to show shot records and allow the trainer to evaluate the puppies play level. ​

​

Puppies who participate in at least 6 play times and accomplish basic puppy training goals will be eligible to earn their STAR Puppy Certificate from AKC.

See AKC page for more details.

Leash Reactivity Classes

Is your dog particularly expressive when meeting/seeing other people, dogs or provoking stimuli while on leash?  

Using Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT), we will help teach your dog that those stimuli aren't anything to worry or obsess over.  

​

This class is scheduled based off of interest.  Participating dogs are required to have AT LEAST 1 private lesson with a Fetch Please head trainer before signing up.
