Puppy FUNdamentals

Mental & physical stimulation for an enhanced fitness & sports foundation. Work at your own pace in the convenience of your own home. Learning is done in Google Classroom. When you enroll, you will receive an email within 24 hours with enrollment information. You have the ability to communicate with other students as well as ask questions about the materials.

The course is organized by individual exercises and games rather than weekly lesson plans. This allows you to move at your own pace and focus on what your puppy needs most. You will get exercises/games that can easily transfer to dog sports & fitness exercises, each with its own PDF and video demo.

• Engagement Games (Play without Toys; Retrieve to Hand, Tugging)
• Movement Patterns (Surface Training, Two Bowl Game)
• Practical Behaviors (Nose Touch, Collar, Name & Leash Games, Clicker Training, Search Game, Circles, Impulse Control, IYC)

This course is designed specifically for puppies 8-12 weeks old, but many skills can be reinforced and continued well beyond that age.

No. All games and exercises are designed to be done at home with everyday items. Tug toys, slip lead and collars will be required. A clicker is recommended for marking behaviors but not required.

Not at all! While these skills support future performance dogs, they are equally valuable for family pets. This course is for any puppy owner who wants a strong, positive start.

Course can be completed in 4 weeks, but you can go at your own pace. Each lesson is short and designed to fit easily into daily life.

Just a few minutes! Puppies this age learn best through short, fun sessions.
