FAD Family Pets - Adolescent Classes

  

FAD Family Pets Classes are scheduled as needed to support local clients with teaching their dog basic skills and manners. These classes are often divided into 3 categories:

• Beginner Adolescents - For dogs between the ages of 6-18 months old who did not complete a puppy class.
• Intermediate Adolescents - For dogs between the ages of 6-24 months old who completed the Pawsitively Puppy Class or Private Session Package.
• Advanced Community Activities - For dogs of any age that are working on expanding skills and manners at community events and pet friendly businesses.

All classes begin at the Yooper Paws Training Center and may move out into the community as needed.

We often mix and match clients of Yooper Paws & Pawsitively Pups for these classes based on the needs of the dogs attending. Trainers will often be a mix of Penny Beeman, Tammy Carlson, and Athena Grailer.

FAD Intermediate Class

During the summer the Intermediate Class takes place in the form of Group Walks so that we can practice the skills learned in puppy class and/or private sessions while enjoying some outside time.
Each week we will learn a new skill, a new game, a new form of enrichment, and how to apply reinforcement effectively. This allows for a more flexible schedule to accommodate weather, vacations, and summer holidays.

Beginner Group Walks are scheduled for Tuesdays & Thursdays at 6 PM & Saturday at 11 AM

Check out the Group Walks page and schedule directly with Penny each week.

Announcing the FAD Beginners Class for Small Dogs

The next FAD Family Pets Class is designed for small dogs under 25 lbs

begins on Monday, July 7th at 4PM

Yooper Paws Training Center

611 N. Hooper St. Kingsford, MI 49802

This class runs every week for 6 weeks for $200 per dog.

Adolescent dogs often struggle most with distractions that are beyond our control. This can be other people and/or dogs we meet while out on a walk, wild animals or pets that pop up unexpectedly, or any of a million other things that our dogs might react to. This class is designed to help teach your dog the value of focusing on their person more then the environment by using games to build up the reinforcement history. At the same time, owners will be learning about various positive reinforcement training techniques to train various behaviors they want their dogs to enjoy repeating.

Students should plan to arrive about 15 minutes prior to class and do a walk outside the building to help them calm down a little before entering class. Please keep your dog at a safe distance away from other dogs at this time and enter the building one at a time. Be prepared to clean up after your dog! Disposal bags will be available inside if needed.
