PUPPY CLASSES - 8 - 20 weeks (breed dependent)
Socialisation for your new puppy is extremely important between the ages of 8 - 16 weeks. This is the optimum period during which puppies learn to interact with the world around them, how to play with other puppies appropriately and with manners and more. Puppies are so cute and sometimes we allow them to manipulate us. But like all good responsible parents we need to set the necessary rules, boundaries and expectations in order to teach them what we expect of their behaviour so as to raise a well mannered, content and happy balanced dog.
The sooner you start teaching your new puppy 'right' from 'wrong' the easier it will be to welcome them into the your family or 'pack'.
This is where attending a puppy class can help. Puppy classes are a fabulous way to safely socialise your puppy whilst the owners learn all about how their puppy thinks and how best to bring out good desirable traits and behaviours and diminish those unwanted and annoying behaviours. Don't be fooled about the word 'puppy' school, as the classes are as much about the owners as it is the puppies. If owners can be helped and guided with tips, techniques and sound information then their puppy hopefully will grow up to be a happy, content and well rounded dog.
These classes are fluid, in that they are not your usual set amount weeks classes. Owners are able to join the classes once they have booked/completed a 2hr puppy consult.
