How do I look for a good puppy training class?
I want to start going to classes with my puppy. I live in South Carolina (Columbia/Lexington Area) and I don't even know where to start? How do I know if its a good one? What do I even google? Any suggestions would help! Thanks!
A good place to start is by checking the AKC and UKC websites http://www.akc.org
http://www.ukcdogs.com
You will find obedience/agility clubs associated with these 2 venues.
A good puppy class uses mostly food, praise and toys to teach the pups. The classes are usually around 45 minutes, since puppies have a short attention span. No prong or choke collars are used. Only buckle collars. The class should be fun and should cover the basics: sit, down, stay, come, leave it and wait and may even cover some housebreaking. Some will even offer a puppy playtime at the beginning of the class and then again at the end of the class.
Before you register your puppy in any class, go and sit in. See for yourself if the instructor are teaching the pups in positive way. The people and their pups should look like their enjoying themselves. Also, make sure the class isn't to big, so you can get personal attention when needed.
