Six Week Puppy Course

This course is suitable for puppies from their second vaccination up to five months old at the first lesson. The program covers the basics of sit, down, leave it, settle, recall and loose-lead walking. More importantly, we’ll look at how puppies learn, how and when to reward them and we’ll build up their confidence and sense of investigation with a variety of toys and equipment.

Please note that your puppy must have had its full course of vaccinations (the second one is usually administered at around 12 weeks old) to attend this class in order to keep them all safe.

There will be a maximum of 6 puppies per class (outside) or 4 puppies (inside).

Course dates:
Tuesday evenings from 6pm to 7pm at Box Playing Fields (outdoor)
27th June – 8th August 2023 (Please note, there will be no class on 4th July)
15th August – 19th September 2023
Price: £75.00 payable in advance

New Puppy Help & Information

If you are considering getting a puppy, you might want some information up front to help you with your decisions and prepare for your new family member. Topics to consider are the time, attention and equipment needs of a new puppy, what breed might suit you best and where to get your puppy from. If you’d like some help with getting off to the best start then please visit my ‘One To One Tuition’ page and request an appointment from there.

If you are already a proud new puppy owner and would like some help with early days issues like toilet training, crate training, overnight routines and puppy mouthing/nipping then please also use my ‘One To One Tuition’ page to request an appointment dedicated just to you.

One To One Tuition

One to One Tuition is perfect for many situations including:

• Advice before getting a puppy or dog
• Pre-vaccination advice and early puppy training e.g. toilet-training, crate-training, nipping etc
• For puppies and dogs who are shy or easily distracted
• To cover topics you particularly want to work on e.g. Loose-lead walking
• To fit in with your own timetable
• Support for those days that don’t go quite right!

At our first meeting I will carry out an initial assessment and we can then discuss what you would like to work on and get started. You can choose to have as many or as few lessons as you like but please be realistic and understand that the more you put in, the more you will get out.

We can work on one specific training need or move from one to another as things develop – entirely at your speed.

Please note that my work concentrates on training, rather than behavioural issues so, if it turns out that you need assistance with the latter, I will point you in the direction of other professionals who may be better placed to help you.

Price: £45.00 per hour, payable in advance
