TRAINING FOR YOU AND YOUR OLDER POOCH !
So your puppy is not so much a puppy anymore but you have realised that there are some good manners that your pooch does not yet know? Like: * Being calm and sociable around other people and animals * Not jumping on you and on visitors but instead sitting for a greeting * Settling on a mat, bed, or in a crate * Coming when called * Walking nicely without pulling your arm off. * Leaving an object when asked and not running off with socks, undies and other items that are not safe for them to chew? We teach you how to establish a true relationship with your pooch. Importantly show you how to set some boundaries for that unruly adolescent or mature dog. There are two ways to do this in a group training session or a private one on one session. What is the best for your pooch? Every pooch is different and a group setting is not going to be appropriate for some dogs. BOOK A COMPLIMENTARY CHAT via phone or the Contact tab and we can give you advice on what is going to be more suitable. |
A well-behaved dog should be able to:
- Enter your home calmly and respectfully.
- Understand boundaries.
- Go to a bed, mat or crate and stay there when asked.
- Stay away from visitors until invited to approach calmly.
- Be quiet when asked.
- Not beg or demand from you.
- Walk calmly by your side (not pulling)
- Not react to other dogs, people and other stimuli
- Not jump up.
- Understand a free or play command. Not nip and bite.
- Come when called.
- Not be aggressive to other dogs, pets or people.
- Travel calmly and quietly in your car.
Above all you should be able to influence your dogs behaviour and state of mind in all situations and they should always be able to trust you.

PRIVATE TRAINING vs GROUP TRAINING!
Doing private and group class training with the young puppies we have realised that there is a need for both. They are both really important and for different reasons.
So we have developed our new puppy package which is very popular as it’s fulfilling both these vital functions.
We attend your home on arrival of the new family member.
* We implement strategies to aide you and your baby pooch with these big changes.
* We talk about what “house rules” you want as a family and then set boundaries for the puppy and get you all started on a training plan.
* We can advise and assist with set up, ensuring you are setting them up for success from day one.
* We go through the normal puppy issues such as: toilet training, biting, chewing everything, jumping etc
* Your puppy is also enrolled in a group training class appropriate for your puppy’s age and breed.
ABOUT GROUP PUPPY PROGRAMS:
* Puppies have a critical learning period of 6-20 weeks where they can do up to 80% of their learning about the environment, other dogs and people.
* There are lots of way to safely socialise your puppy without locking them up at home.
* The risk of having an unsocialised and fearful older dog is generally a lot higher than the risk of virus or disease.
* We recommend starting puppy classes as soon as you get your puppy, as long as they are eight days past their first vaccination.
* We have knowledge and experience and are fully qualified.
* Our classes are small and personilised.
* We work at your puppies pace and yours.
