Puppy Training
Patriot's Shepherds Puppy Mastery class guarantees your puppy, regardless of its breed, will have the foundation to launch into scent detection/tracking, service dog work, protection work, and advanced obedience. As part of Patriot's Shepherds Puppy Mastery Class your dog will receive the following:
-
Management Strategies: Puppies, akin to toddlers, require structured environments due to their inherent lack of impulse control and boundless curiosity. Without proper supervision, they are prone to accidents, destruction, or self-harm. Establishing a management system is essential for their safety and to foster desirable behaviors, preventing issues like separation anxiety or house soiling. Such systems help in creating beneficial patterns that guide puppies towards becoming well-adjusted household companions.
-
Obedience Training Effective obedience training is pivotal for a puppy's safety and quality of life. Consider scenarios where life-saving commands prevent your puppy from danger, such as a busy street. Our Puppy Training System emphasizes:
-

Socialization Techniques:
-
Socialization is often misinterpreted, leading to common mistakes that can hinder a puppy's development. Our approach to socialization diverges from the conventional, frequent social exposures that can lead to anxiety or overstimulation. Instead, we focus on teaching puppies to remain calm and attentive amidst distractions, whether from humans or other dogs. This balanced method promotes a demeanor of indifference towards external stimuli, enhancing focus on the handler in any setting. We provide guidance on achieving this critical balance, ensuring your puppy becomes well-socialized yet handler-focused.
