Puppy Classes are designed to socialise and train puppies at the crucial stage of a dogs life - between 8 and 16 weeks. Anything a dog experiences in the first few months of its life will shape the puppy into the dog it will be for the rest of its life. During this time, a puppy is more likely to accept new experiences and be willing to explore new challenges.If the socialising the dog experiences during this time is fun, the puppy will become a happy, confident adult dog. However, if no socialising is done, or if the socialising is frightening or not fun, then the puppy may become a scared, unconfident adult dog which may lead to aggression. Therefore the more "good" socialising that is done with a puppy this early stage of its life will be of benefit to the dog and its lowner for the rest of its life.

During our Puppy Classes we aim to:

• Socialise puppies and enable them to learn natural dogs behaviours and body languages (see picture below);
• Teach the pup basic manners using a positive fun method. We teach puppies to sit; come; lie down; stay; leave it; wait for food and walk nicely on the lead;
• Help owners with problems they may be having with their puppy, such as toilet training, chewing, play biting, jumping up and digging;
• Teach owners about dog behaviour and body language;
• Give owners advice on healthcare grooming and nutrition.

Our puppy classes run as a 4 week course and each class runs for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Puppies must be between 8 - 16 weeks and bookings are essential as no more than 8 puppies are taken for a class.
