Salem Puppy Kindergarten

Formally Young Learners

This is a great stand-alone class, or continuation of our Best Beginnings. We will focus on practicing attention on you, walking on leash, and recall around distractions through a variety of fun games. We will cover impulse regulation exercises, such as “stay” and “leave it,” and calm relaxation around distractions.
