Description
This is not your run of the mill puppy school – we are here to ensure the proper development of your puppy, not add on sell you or throw treats in with the puppies and call it socialization. The course has been designed on the feedback from clients unhappy with what is in the marketplace, there are now a number of other businesses that copy our formats and methods as we lead the way. The trainers are trained in Dog Behaviour and are in the field training dogs and dealing with behavioural issues with clients every day – not trained in a shop reading a book on learning it via an in store training system. We have seen too many clients disappointed with what's on offer or given incorrect even dangerous advice in stores.
Puppy school is about the dogs learning how to play appropriately with dogs their own age not learning how to be ruff from older dogs. This is a controlled environment and we show you how to do this. Resilience is the name of the game - we teach you how to get a puppy confident so when it is older it can realize they can cope with the human world not be a blithering mess afraid of different environments.
Please note – these puppies are in the most formative part of their life – as such we never use any technique that is cruel, inhumane or harsh. The course is designed to use treats to MAP in their mind specific behaviours for later in life. Once they graduate and are old enough we don’t use treats to bribe our dogs to do basic commands and basic obedience. We use positive rewards not food and basic obedience teaches you how to do this.
