Online Puppy Parenting Classes
Puppy School for puppies aged between 8 weeks and 6 months.
Congratulations on your new puppy!
Researching and planning for the arrival of your new puppy is such a fun and exciting experience…
However, regardless of your preparations… As soon as your cute furry one arrives, you will be struck with a ton of questions.
You'll quickly discover that you do need professional support from day one, in order to avoid common mistakes and prevent problem behaviours.
Your puppy will grow very quickly and needs to learn a lot in a very short space of time, if he or she is to grow into a happy and confident, well-behaved dog.
The best way to set your puppy up for success is to enrol into puppy school, with a well-structured puppy training program, provided by a Certified Puppy Class Instructor.

Your puppy needs to be up-to-date with their vaccinations, and the minimum requirement
for your puppy to be able to attend in-person classes, is that your puppy has at least had their first vaccination (C3).
Please bring a copy of your puppy's vaccination certificate at the start of your first class
(this can be a screenshot on your phone). The vaccination certificate must be sighted by your instructor
before you can enter the class room.
Unfortunately,
no vaccination certificate = no entry. No exceptions.

Session1
A lot of theory during this first session, so perhaps best without your puppy today, so you can focus on your learning.
Else, it provides a great opportunity for puppies to learn to settle and be rewarded for choosing calm behaviour.
During your puppy's first week at home, keep their world small. Use confinement appropriately to prevent your puppy from making mistakes around the house.
Focus your efforts on teaching puppy your house-rules and helping your puppy make sense of the world.
And, of course, continue developing a healthy, happy relationship with your puppy.
Our main focus will be on the time-sensitive puppy priorities and relationship building:
Session2
We're diving straight into training this week: teaching the all-important "Come" when called. Creating more value for you and developing that magical, invisible force-field of proximity. We'll also be introducing more basic dog training concepts and handling practice, to enable you to progress your puppy's training at home.
Session3
Enjoying time outdoors with your puppy dog is the best! By now most of our puppies will have received their 2nd vaccination. Now your puppy absolutely needs to get out and about, if you want your puppy to benefit from early puppy socialisation, in order to prevent problem behaviours from developing in the future. That's why we'll be introducing "Loose Leash Walking" and "Stay" today. And,… just for fun, we'll throw in "The Big Challenge": Can you call your puppy away from food?

Let's celebrate and practice everything our puppy has learnt so far:
