The purpose of baby puppy class

Baby Puppy class provides a valuable opportunity for your puppy to gently begin socialising with other puppies and people in a controlled and safe environment. Attending a good puppy school with your puppy will help to improve the quality of your pup’s life for many reasons.

Through training, games and socialisation, your pup will begin to develop:

• more confidence and social skills around unfamiliar people and dogs.

• bite inhibition and understanding of the social rules of play, i.e. how to play appropriately with other dogs.

• fundamental obedience and life skills.

• impulse control to help with acquiring manners and becoming a calmer, more relaxed dog.

Provision of handler information

Handlers will be given information on:

• the skills essential for training a puppy to be a well-mannered, happy companion animal, with a focus on safe handling of and appropriate conduct around the puppy.

• how dogs learn, and how to build engagement through games.

• how to prevent or manage common behavioural problems.

• teaching a puppy foundation obedience skills such as sit, stand, drop, loose lead walking and to come when called.

• various training techniques and how to apply them using positive reinforcement.

• All participants will receive a puppy training pack that deals with such subjects as training, puppy safety, dental care and civic responsibilities.
