Puppies

Do you want your puppy to become

A sociable, confident, well mannered dog?
An integral part of the family?
Dependable, reliable and fun to be with?

Puppy Socialisation and Basic Training Classes Please note that the attendance of ‘Puppy Parties’ should not be viewed as a replacement to our structured Socialisation and Training Classes. A lack of early socialisation and habituation can cause a dog to be fearful towards people, dogs, other animals and indeed the environment around them, which could stay with them for the rest of their lives. Attending our puppy classes gives you the opportunity to introduce your puppy to new experiences, allowing socialisation and habituation in a safe, rewarding and friendly environment. Our fun classes are held in Curridge WI Hall, last six weeks and include socialisation with dogs and people, handling, grooming and supervised play sessions where puppies can learn vital communication skills. They will also learn basic training including:-

  • Sit
  • Lie down
  • Leave
  • Come when called
  • Loose lead walking
  • Greeting behaviour

Puppy classes are a fantastic foundation for further training and go a long way to preventing problems from ever occurring.  All breeds of vaccinated puppies that are no older than 20 weeks when a course starts can attend. The earlier you start the better! (Some vets will allow puppies to attend soon after their first vaccination – please consult your vet beforehand).  For details of our next courses and to enrol please check our availability page.
