BABY PUPPY SCHOOL 8 TO 14 WEEKS

Bringing your puppy home is one of the most exciting and rewarding times. It can also be exhausting and a little overwhelming. We are here to help you learn how to read your dog, build trust and guide you to become the best guardian you can be for your puppy.

​

We offer a five week course with each class running for 1 hour. The first class is puppy free where we cover theory, get your training started, equipment and discuss what will be happening in the course and what to prepare. It’s a good idea to plan your calendar so that you can attend all classes. This is a progressive course and there are no makeup classes.

​

We aim to assist in enabling puppies to be exposed to new experiences in a positive manner. This program aims to provide some of these experiences in a safe and controlled environment.  Socialisation occurs when puppies are in the presence of people, other puppies and environment. It is very important that puppies learn to be calm around other dogs. We aim to find a balance between exciting activities and calm, quiet activities.
