6 Week: Superstar Status

The six week Superstar Status Program is amongst our top rated training programs. With this program, your puppy will begin to master their commands and exceed your expectations. If the full six weeks are completed, your puppy will be eligible for the CGC certification.

Commands Introduced: 

• “Sit” (Sit on your bottom)
• “Come” or “Here”  (Come to me) 
• “Lay”  (Lay down)
• “Yes”  (That is the correct behavior I am looking for) 
• “No”  (This is incorrect behavior) 
• “Stay” (Stay where you are) 
• “Drop it”  (Drop anything they decide to put into their mouth) 
• “Okay” (Release word so that they know the training session or request is over)
• “Leave it” (Informs the puppy they are near or into something off limits)

 

Name Recognition: 

You can inform your trainer of the new name you have chosen for your puppy so they will be able to recognize it and come when called by name. 

Handling: 

Allows your puppy to feel comfortable when being picked up and handled by family members, groomers, and veterinarians. Your puppy will be comfortable with their faces, feet, ears, and tail to be touched and handled. Your puppy will not react if pulled or tugged on - especially by a young child. 

Crate Training: 

• Teaches you puppy that the crate is a safe place and their personal home 
• Your puppy will be taught to not cry or bark while in the crate 
• Your puppy will be taught to not potty while in their crate 

 

House Manners: 

• No jumping. Puppies will try to jump on you for attention which later in adulthood is no longer as cute! We will work to prevent and correct this habit.
• No nipping. Puppies are teething so they love to use their mouths to communicate! This can form a bad habit and this program will work to prevent it.
• No barking. Your puppy will be taught to minimize any playful barks or being yappy within your home. 

 

Leash Manners: 

• Introduces your puppy to the harness and leash 
• Begins walking with you while on a leash 
• Familiarizes your puppy with wearing a collar 
• Learns to wait and sit when you stop walking
• Is taught to stop tugging or pulling on the leash, they will learn to walk beside you and not in front of you

 

Establishing Routines: 

Our trainers will follow a daily routine that they will use throughout the length of the training program. This includes:

• Potty training routine
• Meal time routine 
• Bedtime routine 
• Play and training routines 
• Nap routines

 

Potty Training:

Our trainers will begin the lengthy process of correcting your puppy from pottying within your house, on the floors, within the crate, or on furniture. Our trainers can work with either potty pad training and/or outside training. Please advise your trainer of your preference. 

With this program, your puppy’s chances of going home and still having an occasional accident is minimized. Your puppy will also be taught to hold their potty until it is time to go outside.
