Puppy Classes

We hold puppy training and socialisation classes. Our aim is to encourage early socialisation with both other puppies and people. We hope to prevent future problems that are often related to lack of socialisation or incorrect socialisation. The kennel club approves these classes, we are working to the puppy foundation award good citizen scheme and we have 'Listed Status' Classes are held at different venues at Badgeworth on the A38 and in Weston-super-Mare.

What's involved?

During the course we ask you to think about how your puppy learns new things and what we can do to make learning situations as easy as possible. We encourage the use of praise, food and toy rewards. This will increase the bond between you and your puppy and make training both a lot easier and a lot more fun!

We start teaching the puppies some basic commands and exercises, some of these include:

• Recalling you puppy back to you

• Walking on a loose lead

• Sit, Down and Stand

• Stay

• Waiting and Walking through doorways

• Interacting with other puppies and people

• Meeting an appropriate adult dog from the tutor team

• Fetching and Leaving toys

• Grooming and handling

• Food manners

Information:
The classes run for 6 weeks. The puppy stays at home for the first lesson and all the owners meet for a discussion on common behaviour and health issues and to have any questions answered. The puppies come along to the other 5 lessons when they get to have their say! The lessons last for 1 hour and the cost is £46.
