Puppy Training
Have you recently gotten a new puppy who's hyper and still has to learn their manners?
Fear not, because we have puppy classes to get them trained so you will have a well-behaved adult dog in the future! Stowe Farm offers two 6-week puppy courses for you and your puppy to bond together.
Puppy Course 1: This is a group class for puppies between 10-16 weeks of age. During this 6-week class, your pet will learn basic puppy commands. Come when called by name, walking on a loose leash, as well learning to socialize with other dogs, people, and barn animals. Begin sits, place and heeling. The class will also go over topics such as potty-training, teething, and more.
Puppy Course 2: This second group course is designed for puppies between 4-6 months. During this 6-week class, your puppy will brush up on commands learned in Course 1, and decrease their need to use treats, so they become a well-rounded, polite dog. The course will also expand on dog obedience and teach them other commands and tricks.
Also, if you've gotten your puppy from Stowe Farm, see if you can get puppy classes with their brothers and sisters!
Beginner Training
It's never too late to start training your dog!
This 6-week introductory group course is great for adult dogs too. Dogs who have no prior training experience, will learn basic manners. Because adult dogs with no training tend to get distracted easily, we offer plenty of impulse-control exercises. Furthermore our Professional Dog Training program will help socialization and obedience commands like, sit, leave it, drop it, and how to walk on a loose leash.
This class will also address issues adult dogs face, which include barking, jumping, and digging.
Intermediate Training
Prerequisite for this class: Beginner Training
During this 4-week group course, dogs will revisit their previous obedience commands and practice them with distractions to ensure they will listen to you regardless of environment. They will also learn more advanced commands such as wait, place & go to bed, roll-over, and more.
This course is designed to increase your dog's reliability in listening to you and to introduce higher-level exercises, tricks, and basic agility training.
