Organized bySANDBOX ACADEMY
Addressed to Owners of puppies
ABOUT THE COURSE In this puppy course, our goal is to help you maximize the integration of your puppy into your home, using accurate and scientifically based information.
First, we’re going to start by learning about the origin of the domestic dog and what their normal behavior is, and how they communicate. Then we’re going to move on to how dogs learn and how best to train them.
We’re also going to spend time talking about integrating children and pets together, so that our children and our dogs can live together safely. And we will touch upon one of the most important things that you need to know about when you bring in a new puppy: house training.
Throughout this course you’re going to find valuable information that’s going to maximize your integration of your puppy into your home and create an environment for a life-long enjoyable family member.
