Puppy training classes give you an opportunity to work on obedience training and socialization. These classes can help your puppy learn what you want him to do and what you don’t want him to do. Check that all of these factors are covered when picking a puppy training class. Learn about the school’s accreditation and the experience of the trainers. Question the methods employed to make sure they rely on kindness and not violence or threats. Ask for references from other clients and check on reviews among friends and neighbors. Observe a class without your dog to see how the trainers manage the puppies how they react to the humans. Check that each human/puppy pair gets ample individual attention. Observe the trainers to see how they handle issues such as human inattention or puppy bullying. And make sure both humans and puppies are having fun.
