First Weeks Puppy Class - Getting a head start
-
First Days is a puppy preschool & training class aimed at those people and families that have a new puppy.
-
Pups can join the class even before their first vaccination as the pups can remain on laps or blankets or in their own individual playpen.
-
You learn how to make the most of those first few weeks of integrating the puppy into the household and what stages to expect; while also learning how to teach your pup some basic training exercises.
Class is every Wednesday from 7.00pm-7.30pm, join as soon as you get your pup (or beforehand if you wish); £5 per class for as long as you need it; or integrate this with the next level Puppy Class (i.e. 3 x First Days & 3 x Puppy & Junior Class for £35).
Puppy & Junior Class - Learning Great Skills
-
This class can be carried on from the First Weeks Class or be joined as the first class for puppies and juniors although this is a good class for those shyer quieter older dogs that need help with confidence building;
-
An essential class for puppies and young dogs and their families to work on those basic dog training and homelife skills and experiences which ensure that a wonderful life and relationship is had by all. It's also a great refresher course for those more experienced owners.
-
The class covers the basics of training and socialisation as well as incorporating some of the aspects of the Good Manners and Focus class to help you guide them well through life.
-
Young and older pups learn to work both independently and around each other.
-
The class will help you continue on perfecting those newly learned behaviours to ensure they remain with the young dog for life while also adding new and wonderful exercises.
Classes are every Wednesday in New Malden from 7.30pm & on Sundays from 10am in West Molesey; each lesson continues for between 45 mins & 1 hour. You are able to begin any week and although you will get more benefit from continual attendance the flexibility provided mean that you can miss a week or two and join back in when life's other commitments allow you to. You need only pay for six weeks at a time (£50). With prior notification you may also swap between the Wednesday evening and Sunday morning classes.
TIPS for all CLASSES
You will need to bring something that motivates your dog, usually treats of some kind works wonders and even if your dog is not really food motivated - it's amazing what a bit of competition can do! However if your dog doesn't seem very motivated we will help you find what helps. We generally use something like luncheon or frankfurter as they can be cut up really small and are moist enough for the dog to digest easily. If your dog has a favourite toy bring that along too.
Please turn up on time or let me know (via text on 0784 222 4513) if you are not going to make class or are running late.
All dogs need to be fully vaccinated (apart from the First Weeks class).
