Puppy Life Skills Class

5 Week Class - £120

At this age, we believe socialisation and bonding with your puppy during one of their most critical developmental periods is more important than basic training. Giving them positive experiences, while at the same time not overloading them, will successfully set them up for their future in our world. We will cover basic training with your puppy, but we also look at experiences your puppy may encounter as part of social development.

The puppies will interact together in a safe and controlled way to help teach them skills they will need for future encounters with other dogs. Our classes provide puppies with both training and appropriate socialisation in a comfortable, friendly and controlled manner within a happy enviroment for everyone. All the puppies are treated as the individual puppies they are. Exuberant excited puppies will be taught impulse control and good manners, while more fearful, nervous puppies are helped with how to be happy and calm around other dogs and people.

We teach a variety of foundation skills that will help you to get started with your training. We also cover puppy biting/mouthing and toilet training. Additional subjects will be covered – reading canine body language, avoiding problems like separation anxiety and resource guarding. The aim of the Puppy Life Skills Training classes is to start your puppy off on the right paw. It is to help them have a good foundation for their future and help you develop a great bond and relationship with your puppy. All our methods are kind. We use reward based training to ensure you raise your puppy to be confident, well mannered and balanced so you enjoy your life together.
