Dog Training > Basic / Puppy Classes

This course covers all of the basics that your dog needs. Puppies must be fully vaccinated and aged 12 weeks upwards.  This course may also suit an older dog who has not had any basic training, for example an older rescue dog who has missed out on the basics.

Duration: 6-week course consisting of 6 x 60-minute sessions, running most Saturday mornings.

Venue: Methodist Church Hall in Standish (click here for a map and directions). Free off-road parking (dozen or so spaces).

Cost: £70 for the 6-week course including a free dog whistle as part of recall training. There is also a handout to accompany each session.

What We Get Up To...

The training methods that we will use are all reward based. We will use praise, food treats and positive reinforcement to show your puppies what behaviour is required of them.  Puppies learn through play, so there will be lots of games for you and your puppy together, as well as free play with each other in a safe environment.

Class sizes are kept small enabling your puppy to socialise without being overwhelmed. This will also mean that there is enough one to one time with the instructor and that you are not left sitting for ages waiting for your turn. Now that I have my assistant, Sarah, working with me, we are able to get even more one / one time and can move your dog along at their own pace.

You will notice in week four, there is a session called “over to you”. If you have any special requests or need information that is not included in the timetable, let me know, and we can plan that into the timetable for you.

Come armed with your collar, lead, a bag of tasty treats and some poo bags (just in case).  I look forward to meeting you and your puppy soon.
