Puppy Hikes
A series of 6 half-hour hikes. Designed for pups aged 6 months or under. Individual hike can be attended for $30 with approval from instructor.
Hikes are off-leash, in a 12 acre fenced-in field, and we use a lot of food reinforcement! We often have instructor-owned, very stable, friendly adult dogs who also participate. Maximum of 6 pups. Dress for the weather!
Pre-requisite: Healthy dog. Only people and dogs who are participating in other Raspberry Ridge Sheep Farm training activities are eligible to participate. Must be approved by instructor.
PUPPY HIKES
Our Puppy Hike is a unique opportunity to reinforce owner focus, attention and
socialization in a positive off-leash environment. This limited class is for
puppies six months of age and under, and will help owners/handlers better
reinforce the positive skills necessary in having a well-rounded dog. This
class is an outstanding way to begin a puppy's approach to life in general and
help the owner/handler to better understand the associative skills necessary in
building a solid response foundation.
This is a four-week class course on Sunday mornings for one-half hour each
Sunday. If your schedule does not permit attendance of the full course, an
individual class or classes may be chosen a la carte.
Two age groups, one for puppies under six months and one for over six months are scheduled.
Appropriate footwear, hats and clothing are recommended as you will be working
in a 17 acre fenced field. Older puppy owners should call Diane to discuss their
individual situation as some older puppies may be permitted to participate.
