Early puppy behaviour training prevents issues before they become habits. Our dog obedience training program addresses problems like excessive barking, inappropriate chewing, and lead pulling while your puppy is still receptive to guidance.
Many dog behaviourists confirm that puppies who attend quality puppy preschool develop fewer behaviour problems later in life. The structured socialisation in our puppy school provides exposure to various people, dogs, and environments, essential experiences for developing a confident, adaptable temperament.
Our dog school focuses on both ends of the lead. While your puppy learns essential commands, you'll develop the skills to continue training at home. This dual approach ensures consistent progress between sessions.
The dog training program includes:
By enrolling in our puppy obedience training, you're not just attending dog training classes. You're building the foundation for a lifetime of positive communication with your dog.
Please bring your puppy on a standard collar and lead (not retractable), plenty of small, soft treats, a water bowl, and your puppy's vaccination certificate. We also recommend bringing a small mat or towel for your puppy to settle on during quieter moments.
Yes, we encourage family participation, as consistency in training approach is important. Children are welcome but must be supervised by an adult at all times during the classes.
This is completely normal and actually one reason why puppy preschool is valuable. Our trainers create a controlled environment where nervous puppies can build confidence gradually. We manage all interactions carefully to ensure positive experiences.
Yes, short daily practice sessions at home are essential for progress. We provide specific exercises each week that typically take 5-10 minutes daily, fitting easily into most schedules.
While attending all sessions provides the best results, we understand that life happens. If you miss a class, we'll provide the training materials covered and recommend a quick catch-up session before the next class.
Puppies as young as 8 weeks can begin learning through positive reinforcement. Our puppy training school adjusts expectations based on age, focusing on shorter, engaging sessions for very young puppies.
Yes, our dog training classes address both prevention and correction of common puppy behaviour issues. The sooner we begin, the easier it is to replace unwanted behaviours with appropriate ones.
