Puppy
Imprinting
Puppies from 8-16 weeks old are in the "Imprinting"
stage, during which they must learn socialization, bite
inhibition and restraint handling, or it will be too late
to imprint this vital knowledge.For a puppy with "tantrums",
this is the only age when this problem can be fully cured.
(See website article!)
Puppy
Raising
Don't wait for your puppy to grow into bad habits - start
her off the right way with lessons in good manners, basic
obedience and prevention of common behavior problems.

Adult
Good Manners
Bad manners? It's never too late to teach your "old"
dog some "new" tricks! Housetraining, leash pulling,
jumping on guests, counter surfing, barking....
Problem
Solving
Biting; guarding of food, bones, beds, etc.; dog aggression;
predation; separation anxiety; phobias; running away; etc.
No problem is too big ...or too small!
Holistic
Approach
Many behavior problems have a medical or dietary cause or
component. A holistic approach includes asking the owner
questions,observing the animal, perhaps involving the veterinarian,
and arriving at a careful, thorough diagnosis.

This is a great way to help your dog burn off some extra energy and meet up with their furry friends on the weekend. Owners are encouraged to stay with their dog and mingle with other dog owners. Every Sunday from 2:30 - 3:30, admission is just five dollars for the hour.(If your dog is not already a member of our daycare, please bring vet records the first time you attend. We need to see proof of vaccines for Rabies and Distemper complex, and proof that your dog's stool is negative - within the last 6 months - for all intestinal parasites including coccidia and giardia. If your pupppy is too young to have finished his/her vaccines, that is not a problem so long as he/she current on a vaccine program.)
