The Dog Pro-Social

This program is for clients who attended Argos Dog Training Puppy Kindergarten 1 and/or 2. Some of my Puppy K clients want the opportunity to continue meeting with us to allow their dogs to practice their pro-social behavior, ask questions, and discuss training. This program is designed for you. The Dog Pro-Social is a lot like our Puppy K socialization classes. We continue to work on and improve your ability to communicate with your dog at the start of the hour-or-so-long class. We practice and reinforce leash etiquette in the presence of other dogs so your dog understands what is expected of them while they are on the leash with you. The second part of the class allows your dogs to be pro-social or social with the other dogs in the class. Dogs who practice anti-social behavior will not be allowed to attend this program. Below you will find the list of prerequisites for this program.
