Citizen Canine Academy Level 1
Our Level 1 Puppy Kindergarten is a 4 week training program in which we use only positive reward based training to help your puppy learn fundamentals, impulse control, basic pet obedience, leash skills, and social skills. Puppies are introduced to off-leash dog play, veterinary and grooming handling and social skills.
Level 1 consists of the following:
- Four or five days per week attendance for four consecutive weeks. Off days and weekends are for puppy to practice skills at home and bond with their family.
- One-on-one instruction with a trainer and socialized group play. Groups are closely monitored structured off-leash play.
- Detailed instructions including how to use the verbal cues and hand signals we teach so you can reinforce your puppy’s new skills at home.
- Regular updates detailing your dog's progress.
- A Final Report Card to show off all your puppy’s new skills and behaviors.
- Note that our Citizen Canine Academy can be tailored for a puppy’s specific needs, but is not intended to treat extreme anxiety, reactivity or aggression.

Citizen Canine Academy Manners Refresher Dog Training
Our Manners Refresher Program is designed to help your puppy or adult dog brush-up on skills they may be a little “rusty” on. Take advantage of your dogs daycare or boarding stay to re-introduce manners, or basic obedience skills. Manners Refresher training can be added to any daycare or overnight dog boarding stay. Our training team will work privately with your dog and focus brushing up their skills.
While your dog is boarding or attending daycare our team will reinforce basic manners with repetition and lots of positive reinforcement. Daily lessons may include a variety of learned behaviors including sit, come, attention work, impulse control (no jumping), leash manners and more. The more often your pet participates in the Manners program, the further advanced they will become.
