Puppy School
How it works:
Our puppy school comes in packages of 5 classes. You must sign up for all 5 classes. Each class is the same (i.e there are no tiers or grade levels etc.).
Once you sign up for the classes you will have 8 weeks to use all 5 classes.
Each session of our Puppy school is split into 3 sections
1. Basic Obedience: We teach you and your puppy basic obedience cues such as; sit, down, loose leash walking, heel, come (recall) and stay. As the weeks progress so will you and your puppy's knowledge and skill-set! You will also learn how to interact with your puppy's growing curiosity and how their mind works. Allowing you to keep up with their needs in a healthy and sustainable way.
2. Confidence building: Your puppy will explore, climb, sit and walk across all different equipment in our confidence building course. This teaches you how to help your puppy when your puppy is nervous or scared of new things and starts to give your puppy confidence and trust in your relationship.
3. Socialization: All the puppies in the class are let free under the guidance of our trainer in a contained and safe play area. This introduces the puppies on how to play with other dogs and how to interact with other people. As well as teaching you, the owner, what is good play and what is bad play. you will learn valuable skills on how to manage play successfully, learning how to read play styles and get your dog happily back on leash throughout.
What you need:
- A LOT of high value treats (bring a few types of their favorite treats or kibbles)
- A flat collar to start (our trainer will help you in deciding if any changes to your equipment is needed)
- A short leash (the best leash is 6 ft. NO Flexi or retractable leashes)
- Water (water will be provided but bring your own if you wish)
- A happy hungry puppy! (be sure not to feed your puppy dinner before class)
