Puppy Training and Socialisation.
We recommend that you start your puppy’s training as soon as you get your puppy. It is easier to start by teaching correct behaviour rather than correcting a pup that doesn’t have an understanding of what it has done wrong. We begin with a one to one session. This session covers house training and basic puppy training which is appropriate to your puppy’s stage of development. This puppy training focuses on teaching your puppy desired correct behaviours by employing reward based methods. Puppy training is about giving your puppy an education rather than correcting them. This is the perfect time to build a lifelong bond with your puppy. Most puppy problems can be solved in this one to one session. You will need to allow about an hour and a half for this consultation and training session.
We run monthly puppy socialisation classes for fully vaccinated pups that have already completed the one to one session. These classes are an excellent source of controlled socialisation for your young puppy. The peak period of socialisation for your puppy is between seven and sixteen weeks of age. Many behaviour problems found in dogs stem from a lack of proper socialisation during this vital period. Your puppy will be exposed to lots of new people (men, women and children) and they have the opportunity to play and interact with other puppies of their own age in a caring and controlled environment.
Your puppy will learn the basics of obedience training. Puppies who complete this puppy training and socialisation find more advanced and formal training at a later stage very easy. While dogs can be trained at any age we recommend that you start very young as puppies of three and four months of age learn at a very rapid rate.
