“Socialising your puppy in a controlled way” – essential for bringing up a secure and confident dog

This is a structured 8 week long course covering socialisation and basic training for puppies. It is based on the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Training Scheme. It is suitable for puppies who are aged 8 - 16 weeks at the start of the course.

It costs £50 for the whole course. Courses run regularly throughout the year. Check for the next available course date as we recommend that you pre-book your place.

Please note that from 14th May there will be a small price increase with the course costing £55.

It is important to train your puppy from an early age. With positive reward and encouragement your puppy will grow to love training and will bond closely with you. Once we’ve shown you some basic techniques at class you’ll find both you and your puppy will make real progress if you practice these away from class together…take just five to ten minutes at a time, at home or outside, when you’ve the time and patience and are feeling positive. Each week we'll give you a short 'homework' sheet for you and your pup.

We cover:

Socialising with other puppies and people
Walking on the lead
Basic commands; heel, sit, down and stay
Play
Vet checks and puppy health
Food manners

To join, your puppy must have had its first vaccination and you’ll need to bring proof of this with you to your first class.

To get the best out of your class please look at our recommendations on what to do before you come to training. Please remember to bring your dog training kit with you! If you have any questions or concerns speak to your trainer. We’re here to encourage and help you.

INTERIM ARRANGEMENTS:
Until this course starts we will be running a second Puppy Playgroup catering for older and more advanced puppies. It will cost £3 per session per puppy. To join, your puppy must have had its first vaccination and you’ll need to bring proof of this with you to your first class. Starts at 6.45 pm and finishes at 7.30 pm.
