Training Classes
Peninsula Pups is more than just a daycare! We also offer obedience classes led by our Certified Dog Trainer, Colin Keith. Colin was schooled at Tarheel Canine Training in Sanford, NC and has over 15 years of dog training experience. He is excellent at teaching you and your dog how to speak the same language. The commands learned are just a bonus though. The real reward is the special relationship that is built between you and your dog when you train together.
Freshman Class
This class is for puppies under the age of six months. Socialization and basic obedience are the main focus such as sit, stay, come, leave it and walking on a leash. Common puppy issues like potty training and nipping are addressed as well.
Sophomore Class
This class is for dogs over the age of six months that have not had any formal training. Basic obedience is the foundation for this class, learning commands such as sit, stay, come, leave it and walking on a leash.
Junior Class
Must have passed Freshman/Sophomore Class or equivalent. This class takes basic obedience and applies it to real life situations, for example, teaching your dog to sit and stay with numerous distractions. Higher level commands are also learned such as heel and finish.
Senior Class
Must have passed Freshman/Sophomore and Junior Classes or equivalent. This class focuses on fine-tuning learned commands from previous classes. Also prepares you and your dog to take the AKC Canine Good Citizen test.
Independent Study
Our trainer can work one-on-one with you and your dog in either our daycare or in your home. Training is tailored to fit your dog’s individual needs.
