Sport Puppy Foundations Workshop

What We’ll Work On

• Building Drive & Enthusiasm — Encourage motivation and excitement without creating frantic or out-of-control behavior
• Safe Puppy Play — Learn games that build engagement, confidence, and a strong relationship with you
• Age-Appropriate Obedience — Introduce important skills without taking away your puppy’s enthusiasm for training
• Impulse Control — Fun games that teach your puppy how to think and make good choices
• Working Around Distractions — Help your puppy stay engaged with you without creating conflict or frustration
• Safe Obstacle Training — Explore wobble boards, balance equipment, planks, and other puppy-appropriate obstacles that help prepare puppies for future sports.
• And more!

You’ll leave with practical training techniques and games you can continue at home as your puppy grows.

Whether you’re interested in agility, dock diving, barn hunt, or another dog sport, this workshop helps give your puppy a confident and enthusiastic start.
