Benefits of puppy training

After leaving the litter, puppies are in need of a lot more puppy life lessons before they turn 18 weeks of age. Puppy classes are not just socialisation groups. Puppies need to learn about boundaries related to toileting, biting, jumping, toys and playing, food and feeding.

What does the course involve?

During a 4-week course, puppies and their humans will learn about:

• Basic obedience
• Food and resource guarding
• Bite inhibition
• Recall with distractions
• When to play and when to settle
• Keeping discipline positive
• Desensitisation to handling and new sounds and sights
• Anti-jumping techniques
• Appropriate socialisation and play behaviours
