WHAT TO EXPECT IN PUPPY SCHOOL


Puppy school is as much about teaching the handler as it is about training the pup! For many dogs, attending puppy school is some of their first exposures and experiences of new places, people, smells and activities. From 4 to 16 weeks pups are sponges, and experiences during that time shape them permanently. This is called the "Critical Early Socialisation Period" - it's easy to see why being proactive during this time is important!
At our puppy school is run by experienced instructors with current knowledge and modern methods. Classes are designed to help foster confidence, engagement and independence. We do this by implementing a balanced, practical curriculum that develops as your pup does.
Each class is generally structured into three parts -
-
The Talking Bit - puppy troubleshooting 101!
-
The Learning Bit - a new topic, technique or skill is covered, and
-
The Fun Stuff - practical activities, socialisation and play-based learning.
When you graduate and start in Beginners Obedience (blue class), you'll find you have a good headstart (with engagement, commands, gestures, terminology, etc) and your pup will be more emotionally and socially prepared for the group environment and the wider world as a whole. Pups will be more resilient and confident, and your new handling skills will have you both sail through.
