Professional Affiliations
K9 Home Schooling specializes in helping people prepare their puppies for family life as well as puppies pursuing careers as working Service Dogs and Therapy Dogs. Puppies have special needs and we help families understand those needs. Our Pup Start Program, for puppies 10 weeks thru 24 weeks of age, addresses the physical, emotional and social needs that puppies have. The first 18 weeks of your puppies life is the time when critical first impressions are made. If your puppy has positive experiences during this critical developmental period, he will mature into a confident, friendly, easy going adult dog. Puppies who lack proper socialization, experience harsh handling, have limited exposure to new environments, will mature into fearful, timid, reactive possibly aggressive adult dogs. We help families understand the importance of early training and socialization to get their puppy off to the right start. Our Pup Start Program combines obedience training, socialization with other puppies and people and exposure to new environments. Along with teaching foundation obedience skills there are discussions on housebreaking, crate training, management techniques for preventing unwanted behaviors such as nipping, jumping, barking, destructive chewing and much more. We limit our class size to 6 students to allow for individual attention. All K9 Home Schooling Students receive weekly class handouts and access to our on-line library of over 40 training and behavior modification handouts and email support for the duration of the 6 week class. Our instructor, Michelle McCarthy, is a Certified Therapy Animal Consultant, Certified Dog Behavior Consultant, Training Consultant for Service Dogs Of Virginia and Therapy Dog Tester for Therapy Dogs, Inc. Michelles expertise working with puppies is evident by the countless number of puppies who have graduated from Pup Start becoming beloved family members and successful Service and Therapy Dogs. To learn more about Pup Start, enroll in an upcoming class, or attend our next New Student Orientation, contact Michelle@k9homeschooling.com.
