Training a puppy can be tough–we can help!
Jumpstart your Jr. Cadet with our foundation training designed to help your Jr. Cadet get the full understanding of the proper positions and commands that he/she will need for future training.
We utilize praise-based and balanced training techniques along with treats and a handled harness or a martingale collar to reward and teach your Jr. Cadet without the stress of correction techniques. Jr. Cadets do not come into the world knowing what we expect from them; we must show them. Our balanced training makes learning not only fun but also entertaining and keeps them coming back for more.
The Puppy Academy for Jr. Cadets goes beyond just command training; we also work on instilling proper manners such as sitting/waiting patiently for feedings, pausing politely before going in and out the door, and properly greeting people. We emphasize socialization with children and other animals, housebreaking, and respectable in-home behavior.
We also incorporate field trips to pet-friendly stores and downtown Deland to enhance your Jr. Cadets’ social training experience.
