Mindful Munchkins Puppy Level One

(Up to 12 months)

​

​

Your puppy is older now and you are onto the next step in their development. Those naughty behaviours they once did while they were smaller aren't so cute anymore. Now that they have graduated preschool and learned some foundation skills, it's time to teach them about real life obedience and proper manners.

Puppy Parties

Puppy Club Socialization Group

(Up to 12 months old)


It is recommended that puppies attend a puppy socialization class and practice regularly, but what types of interactions should puppies have? What if there aren't any in your area? While some owners focus just on exposing puppies to many people and situations, it’s important to actually make sure that the puppy is having a positive experience and learning something good. A lot of people ultimately find themselves taking their puppy to a dog park. This is not a good place for any puppy. They become completely overwhelmed when they get swarmed by the dogs already there waiting for them at the gate. Dog parks are complete with germs, unknown dogs, and dogs that display inappropriate behaviours while their owners are off socializing with other humans. It takes only a second for one of those dogs to give your puppy a bad experience, making your puppy fearful and possibly reactive to other dogs as they age, for the rest of their life.

Puppy Club was created for puppies to come together for safe structured free play and socialization activities. Puppy Club is held at Wizard of Paws supervised by a certified trainer to teach the puppies about appropriate socialization. Contact us if you are not sure which your puppy would qualify for. Drop off your energetic pup while you walk the Farmer's Market and pick up a tired one! A tired puppy is a happy puppy. 

By starting early and being consistent you will provide the best chance that your pup will grow into a happy confident dog.

​

Puppies are required to have ONE set of age appropriate vaccines. Wondering about bringing your young puppy to come and play? Check out this position statement from the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behaviour, and here for the Post Pandemic Socialization Guide.

​

We limit spaces to 5 puppies max per play room.

Behaviour Modification 

For dogs that are having behaviour challenges

​

This program covers a wide variety of behaviour, from severe aggression to excitement greetings. 

It is a great option to fine tune any behaviours after completion of another program, to stay consistent with training or if you have old unwanted behaviours that you want resolved.


If your dog has been deemed helpless, put on a muzzle order, has an attack or bite history, severe separation anxiety, reactivity, fear, resource guarding, barking, jumping, pulling on leash, lacking impulse control, doesn't listen, has zero recall, issues with distractions out in public, or is on behaviour related medication. 

 

The lessons are personalized and take place at a location based on your dog's needs, whether at our facility, your home, or out in public; tell us a behaviour you want changed and we will make it happen, there isn't a dog we'll turn away.
