Puppy Training Classes & Social Walks
Introducing your puppy to the world in a safe, controlled and positive environment is vital for her to enjoy a happy life as your well adjusted pet.
At my puppy classes, I welcome a maximum of six puppies and their owners. You’ll learn the positive, reward based training techniques you need to give your puppy the best start, including:
- Safe socialisation
- Recall
- Sit / down / stay
- Leave
- Loose lead walking
The training also includes advice and support with early common puppy challenges such as:
- Toilet training
- Mouthing
- Jumping up
- Helping them settle on their own
Puppies are given the opportunity to explore different apparatus, toys and surfaces to build their confidence with different novel environments, as well as owners having the opportunity to learn how to safely and appropriately socialise their pups in a safe controlled environment.
Puppy Social Walks
A great opportunity for pups and their owners to enjoy a social walk with some life skills training included, followed by a drink!!
Rutland Water is a great place for pups to safely see ducks, sheep, bikes and people and explore new surroundings.
We will stroll along the public footpaths and then relax in the picnic area where the pups can practice their settling skills whilst we enjoy a cuppa.
This is for a maximum of four pups to ensure everyone has lots of individualised attention.
