About Sirius Puppy Training | Sirius Dog Training

Until SIRIUS came along, most cl es only taught dogs repetitive on-leash obedience drills. SIRIUS emphasized the importance of teaching bite inhibition, early socialization, temperament training, and — simple solutions for common and predictable behavior problems, as well as basic household manners.

Puppy Kindergarten is a SIRIUS innovation. It is a set of four cl es designed to ensure that you receive urgent training at the earliest possible time. There are three elements of puppy training that must be addressed in a puppy’s first three months of life: 1) Puppies must be thoroughly, yet safely, socialized to people so that later in life, they do not become wary or fearful of children, strangers, or men. 2) Puppies must learn to be gentle with their mouths so they do not inflict serious injury on people or s as their jaws grow substantially stronger. 3) Puppies must learn how to live in a human home so they do not damage your belongings or suffer from separation anxiety. Though not as urgent as the above items, puppies will be introduced to basic manners and obedience commands as well.   WHAT TO BRING TO CL : Proof of vaccination is required at the first cl . Proof of vaccine(s) on paper is preferred. For Puppy Kindergarten we require the first DHLPP or DHPP vaccine (specifically Distemper and Parvo) prior to first session. Have your puppy wear a flat, buckle/snap collar – no harnesses or training collars that tighten. Please have your pup on a 6’ leash. “Flexi” leashes are not appropriate for cl . Don’t feed your puppy right before cl . Instead, bring their kibble to cl in a ziploc bag for use as lures and rewards while training. Also bring a few extra-tasty treats to reward your pup for their best performances. Make sure your treats are in small, bite-sized pieces that won’t fill your pup up or take long for them to eat. We also recommend bringing a small water bowl for personal use. The Complete Puppy Course: This cl can be taken with Puppy 1 and Puppy 2 to form a comprehensive course consisting of four sessions that will guide your pup through puppyhood and into the challenging world of adolescence. Save money by registering for these cl es together. Learn More REQUIREMENTS: Handlers: We require at least one per enrolled puppy. We encourage the whole family attend the cl together but if children are three years or younger, a second must be present. Pups must be carried into cl : As a reminder, young puppies are not fully vaccinated yet. Therefore, as a precaution, we ask that you carry your puppy to cl in your arms or in a carrier and avoid walking through parks or on public walkways. We ask that you DO NOT allow your puppies to greet other pups or dogs, fellow students or otherwise, outside of the cl room. This is the protocol for all Puppy Kindergarten cl es.
