Not-So-New Puppy Behavior Workshop

In this 4-week online workshop, Debbie helps dog owners learn, discuss, and troubleshoot behaviors common to puppies between 5-18 months old. Some of the behaviors discussed will include barking, jumping, leash walking, impulse control, general manners, and more.

What makes this workshop unique is there are no pre-planned topics.  The group decides what they wanted to learn about and discuss each class. Then you take what you learned and work with your pups during the week.

What Makes This Virtual Workshop Unique?

 

The Not-So-New-Puppy Behavior Workshop is a series of informal and open question and answer sessions.  This allows you, the student to choose the topics and ask the questions that are most important to you.  

Since the workshop is exclusively for puppies between 5-18 months old, most of the behaviors discussed will benefit everyone.  Past students have said one of the best parts of the workshop is learning that they are not alone!

We don’t work with the dogs directly during the class instead you get one-on-one personalized advice from me (Debbie) while also listening in and learning from others. 

Think of it as mini sessions with me where we discuss and troubleshoot your pup's behavior.  Anyone else with similar questions can chime in and get personalized advice for themselves.  I will then give you exercises to practice between classes based on what we talked about.

Common topics are barking, jumping, leash walking, chewing, counter surfing, recall, socialization, leash reactivity, and many more!

You are also encouraged to send videos of the skills practiced to me to get feedback personalized feedback.

What students are saying!

April and Lola

Debbie was so helpful with all of her recommendations. She really took the time to understand what my specific issues were with Lola and gave age appropriate advice. I would highly encourage anyone that has a puppy attend this workshop!

Abby and Remi

Debbie does a great job of making this workshop interactive and enjoyable! It was fun to meet other “not so new” puppy owners and learn from (and laugh) with them too! This was a good way to get the trainer experience for such an affordable price. Remi especially liked that I learned to give more “high value” treats from time to time.. ;) We’d recommend any of Debbie’s future workshops!

Allison and Olive

We found this class very helpful in troubleshooting a few issues we were having with our puppy. We've already seen great improvements in her behavior after following Debbie's advice!

Letty and Tucker

This class was great, to be able to both ask personalized questions about difficulties you’re having with your pup and learn from the questions that others ask. Debbie is so helpful, would definitely recommend!!

Penny and Molly

I really enjoyed this workshop. Debbie took the time to address my personal needs and problem areas in regards to my dog Molly. She taught me the techniques to use and they were so simple! Thanks Debbie!!

Celine and Chai

Thanks to this workshop, I got to speak to Debbie directly about Chai's specific problems on those little things that every dog owner deals with at a certain point. She gave me good advice that I now use every time I can! Chai is still a work in progress (and always will be!), but I can see some improvement in the topics we talked about!

Nicole and Brady

This workshop was well worth the money. We really enjoyed meeting the other people in the class and looked forward to asking questions and learning each week. It was very helpful to be able to ask questions based on what your puppy was struggling with instead of having to follow a predetermined syllabus. Debbie was just as great as she is on her podcast, always breaking down situations into small steps that were easy to understand and incorporate into our training. Debbie also spent some time talking about socialization during Covid-19 restrictions which was very helpful. I would highly recommend this class!
