$5 Puppy Kindergarten & Socialization Classes in Austin, TX

Aug. 31, 2010 - PRLog -- Socialization is more than just about meeting people and dogs, it is about putting the dog in a position to be comfortable and confident in his world.  By offering low cost Puppy Classes, Steve DeBono hopes more people will begin training at an earlier age, helping reduce common problems that often result in rehoming dogs later in life.

Austin Dog Trainer Steve DeBono explains: "Although 5-6 classes is recommended, I've seen how even attending even a few classes can make a huge difference in a dog and owners lives."

During classes, training foundation obedience behaviors, housebreaking, handling, play biting/nipping, and other common puppy issues are addressed.  There is a focus on learning how to get a puppy’s attention in distracting environments.  Each week, time will be dedicated to socializing the puppies, and there will be an optional 30min socialization period after class.

Classes are a la carte and you may attend as many as you like, provided your dog meets  the age and vaccination requirements listed below.

Pre-registration is required!  Classes are limited to 8 puppies.

Requirements: Pups must be between 10 and 18 weeks of age.  Dogs must have received 2 DHLPP vaccinations, one of which must have been administered after 8 weeks of age but at least 7 days prior to the Class.
