Puppy Training Classes & One to One Sessions

So, you've got a puppy! Your world's been turned upside down!

Joyful Dogs can show you how to use kind but effective puppy training techniques (positive reinforcement).  The result?  A well behaved puppy you'll enjoy spending time with.

​

Your puppy is learning every single moment of the day - yikes! So, it's important to get things off to a good start.

We’ll help you tackle all your puppy training challenges.​

Puppy Life Skills: Starters - 6 week group class

(Max 6 puppies in each class)

  • Socialisation the right way – hint: not loads of free running dogs!

  • Recall - Games which turn the fun switch on your dog so he is hot on your toes!

  • Connection - do you exist in your dog's world?

  • Loose lead walking – no pulling!

  • The Vet Visit & grooming game - how to empower your dog to communicate with you.

  • ‘Settle on a mat’ - everyone wants to chill out in the pub with their dog, right?

  • ‘Drop’ an object when asked - no more reaching in the dog's mouth to retrieve your slipper.

  • The 3 second Game – what is your dog telling you about touch?

  • Being social / greeting people without jumping - there is always someone wearing white trousers (face palm)!

  • 10% discount at our favourite pet shop (local, small business!) for the duration of your six week course!
