Puppy Classes


 We will continue to operate under the CDC recommendations.  This page has been update December 12 , 2023. We will continue to be cautious of the Coronavirus . Thank you for your understanding. Masks are not required for classes but if you are not feeling well or have be in contact with someone that has the virus please use pre cautions. 

Welcome and thank you for coming to my site. You have lots of questions, and I will try to make this paper work part as simple as possible, so we  can get to training you and your puppy.  I have Three Puppy Classes, plus the AKC Star Puppy Certification (optional). The best way to reach me is through the Contact Form on the contact link or direct email at ohkom@winbeam.com. Please see the calendar page for our schedule.

You and your puppy will start with our Class One, Puppy Socialization (six weeks); then  you will continue with us through Class Two, Puppy Activity (six weeks) and Star Puppy Class (four weeks, this is an optional class),  and Class Three, Puppy Plus Obedience (eight weeks),  all of which are described on this page.

Please see what to bring here.

If your puppy is 6 months or older, you will start with an Evaluation. I also offer private puppy primer sessions prior to  your puppy being enrolled should you have immediate behavior you would like one-on-one instructions with. Home Visits are available as time allows.

Once your puppies have completed all the Puppy Classes and met the criteria for moving on,  they can enroll in the Canine Good Citizen Program and our Agility Program. Advanced and competition levels are also offered.

CLASSES are ONGOINGPlease note I cannot hold spots without the registration form. If you’ve missed the deadline, your registration will be held until the next available spot, or when 4 puppies have signed up for a new class. Classes fill quickly, so it is suggested to send in the registration prior to the deadline. Deadlines are  6- 8  days prior to classes starting. A  final  confirmation will be sent out to you prior to the start of class. I appreciate your patience. Thank you.

Sorry, there are NO Refunds after the Registration Deadline.

NO REFUNDS once class is set. If you do not make a class it is up to you to follow along your lessons in the puppy book I provide and some  training video’s are on my You Tube channel you can follow along with. You may schedule a private to cover  the material you missed as time allows . This will be scheduled as a private and be charged for a private. This is a separate time and can not be compared to group rates. Privates are $55.00.

Another original class from Ohkom Farms. This activity class has proven extremely successful in the testing stages of your puppy’s development.

A class for the whole family to participate in.

Please note I have the right to schedule the classes as registrations are received. It is your responsiblity to check the Ohkom Calendar and Events to see when the class is starting. If your registration is NOT received, I have no way of knowing you plan to come. Registrations are always due a week before the class starts. Thank You.

For puppies who have passed their Puppy Socialization and Puppy Activity, or have been moved into this class. Continuation of socialization, heeling on lead, recalls with distractions, sit and down stays and more. Positive reinforcement for basics and helping you through those tough “doggie teens”. Most puppies will test you at this age and stage of learning. If you have started with our Class One you will have the tools to deal with these behaviors and this class will expand those tools and help you stay focused on the task. If you are new to the program several private lessons to catch you up will be necessary. New students over 6 months that have not been in our Puppy Socialization Class are required to come in for an Evaluation before being scheduled into a class.

Canine Good Citizen Class to follow .  Agility Classes to follow. Competition Rally and Obedience offered. We have the whole plan for you. Join us in the Summer for our Swimming Classes.
