What will your puppy learn?
We will help you teach your puppy all the basics so your new life together has the best possible start. The syllabus is designed to help you guide your puppy steadily and progress from easy to more complex exercises, building on your puppy’s understanding and reliability each week. At the end of the 6 week course you will have a solid foundation for your relationship together. The course is equivalent to the Kennel Club’s Foundation Certificate and the syllabus includes:
- Recall: Games to make recall reliable and fun!
- Basic positions – sit, down, stand
- How to walk on a loose lead – no pulling!
- Accepting handling (for vet or grooming)
- ‘Wait’
- Teaching the ‘retrieve’
- ‘Settle’
- ‘Leave’ an object when asked
- Accepting people near to food bowls, bones and chew
- Stopping play biting
- Being sociable with humans, children, and other puppies
- Greeting people without jumping up!
NB: Your puppy must be fully vaccinated to attend the group course.
