BLUE STAR TRAINING PROGRAM 

The BLUE STAR Program includes primary housetraining. Our emphasis is on motivational and praise techniques using positive reinforcement techniques.

What you can expect with the Housetraining phase of this course:

 

• The pup will be brought into our home, be taught general “in home” manners;
• No jumping on the beds or furniture
• No jumping on the family or guests
• Sit for greetings
• No “stealing” food from the counters
• No digging in the trash no chewing on chair legs

And generally” NO” to anything that can be deemed a bad habit later on. He will be given his own set of toys, consisting of a tennis ball, a chew bone a knotted rope toy and a soft squeaker toy to nap with. Most all will be sent home with him. He will be placed on regulated feed schedules, varying no more than one half hour. After awakening from each nap, and after each meal, he will be brought outside to the “potty spot.” After complete elimination- he will immediately be rewarded, using pleasant high-pitched tones, along with lots of physical praise. At no point- and I do mean at no point, do we ever leave the young puppy alone unsupervised. If an accident did occur at that time, it could set the pup back weeks in training. We do not teach the dog “after” the accident has already happened- but rather “the toilet area is outside and only outside; the correct way from the beginning.

Obedience Training:

 

This phase of the course includes:

• Heeling on loose lead 
• Automatic sits whenever you stop
• Stay (hand signal and verbal)
• Recall (come on command)
• Sit, (hand signal and verbal)

This course will be given at trips to the park, where your puppy will be walked through crowds, crossed through traffic, heeling and sitting properly at all times. He will also have “free time" to enjoy as he will, relaxing under the tree with his trainer on beautiful park grounds or stopping to receive a pat on the head from a small child.

 

Travel Training:

 

This phase of the course is taught on both long and short trips to parks, shopping centers, homes of friends, relatives and neighbors, trips to the Post Office, while picking up the kids at the bus stop or driving around the ranch. In the vehicle he will learn to sit or lay on the seat calmly, without jumping in your lap, or “helping you drive.”

All training course include medical completion, professional weekly nail trims, and routine inoculations.

• Program begins: age 8 weeks
• Course duration: 6 weeks
• Cost: $1400.

Additional courses can be added to continue training and teach new commands. The down is taught no sooner than Course # 2, as it is the most submissive command to a dog, and we like to have full confidence built up in our young pups before asking them to “down.” Each additional 6 weeks course will also reiterate and polish all previous training, and allow us to further enhance the level on training your puppy can benefit from here at Amaris.

 RED STAR TRAINING PROGRAM

Welcome to “Puppy Boot Camp” 

 

Pre-purchase training is a great way to add some training prior to placement in your home. It will eliminate that “sitting down” or “lunging ahead” that puppies can do when first introduced to the leash, which can lead to a poor experience for both of you.

 

By adding this course, you can snap on your leash, command “heel” and off you go! Stop, your puppy will automatically sit down. Command “stay” with a hand signal, and he is right there where you asked him to be. Call him now, using his name, and he’s on his way!

 

The Red Star Training Program offers basic on leash obedience. We will teach your puppy :

 

• heel on a loose lead, on command
• automatic sit when you stop
• stay (hand signal and verbal)
• recall (come on command)
• sit (hand signal and verbal)

 

Medical completion will be continued at no additional cost.

 

• Start date: age 8 weeks
• Course duration: 4 weeks
• Cost: $900.00
