Puppy Course - 4 sessions
Bringing a puppy into your home is one of the most exciting events and full of anticipation and joy. They are a bundle of fluff, all ready to be loved and treasured... and they are also full of needle sharp teeth, they want to bite and chew everything, they don't yet understand that the lovely rug in the lounge is not a toilet, they love to chew the TV remote or the heel of your favourite shoes... nothing is safe or sacred... and then they get bigger and discover they can jump on furniture, reach things they couldn't, they get over excited and run away from you in the park...

PLEASE HELP!!!

It's all very normal, but without the tools and techniques to teach your puppy how things should be done in your household, life can become a bit of a challenge!
This is where the course helps. You will be armed with lots of information to keep you a step ahead, and the skills to teach your new family member what is acceptable in their new home.
It's really important to start as you mean to go on, with the learning happening at the right stages, ensuring your puppy grows up with nice manners!
​
The course is designed so it can be booked over a few weeks if needed. I recommend spreading them over a time period of 4 - 6 weeks.
The first session can also happen at a date prior to the puppy arriving, if you wish, so you are fully prepared.
