     At Canine Resolution, our goal is to help each dog and handler reach their highest potential. In order to achieve this goal, our AKC STAR Puppy program begins with a lesson for people only. Before you are ever placed into a group situation with your dog, you will learn all the basics that are necessary for success. This is the perfect way to start your new puppy in the learning process and help them reach their full potential. This eight week class reinforces good behavior patterns and forms good habits during their critical socialization period. In this class your puppy will learn social skills and be introduced to basic obedience. We will also address common puppy problems such as house breaking, chewing, nipping, and jumping. This program was designed to prevent bad behaviors from forming, to build your puppies confidence and establish a leadership role as the owner.
