6.30pm Puppy Foundation Classes are based around the Kennel Clubs ‘Good Citizen Dogs’ Scheme
At Puppy level, you build the foundation skills necessary for a dogs life in your world. Socialisation is teaching your pup to Settle and to be calm in the presence of other dogs and people. You will develop a relationship with your dog based on clear communication. Other skills we look at are: the 3 body positions of Sit/Down and Stand using vocal commands and hand signals, Distance and duration of commands, loose lead walking to heel, recall, Vet check and Grooming.
We discuss as a group the law around dogs, your dogs needs and your responsibilities as a dog owner. -
The 7.30 pm Juvenile class is suitable for owners and dogs who have skills at Puppy level. Suitable for young dogs age 7 month upwards, including adult dogs.
Most of these lessons will take place outside , where we can look at issues such as Recall, Lead work, ignoring distractions and behavioural issues such as resolving aggression to other dogs.
I include level 1 & 2 Gundog skills.
We discuss the dogs’ needs and current issues for dog owners.
Praise and play are the main positive reinforcers. We start with food rewards but this is faded out as we go through the term.
Dogs in this class are best trained from the collar and a 4ft flat lead.
If I find that the issues you are experiencing with your puppy or dog are beyond my knowledge. I can happily refer you to other professionals.
