Beagle Puppy

Senior Puppy Class

Perhaps your puppy missed preschool?

 

Were you puppy too old for puppy class?

​

Haven't had the chance to start training until now?

​

 Maybe you have a rescue dog? 

​

Just because your dog isn’t a little puppy anymore, doesn’t mean you no longer need to worry about training and socialisation. Yes, adolescent dogs have merged into a different stage of development and learning, but they can still present all the same problems you may experience with a puppy.

 

Our Senior Puppy Class is for dogs aged between 10 weeks- 18 weeks of age cover a period of  4  x  practical classes (weekly).

​

Senior Puppy Class is not about play with other dogs—we encourage and implement ways to strengthen the bond between owner and dog, resulting in a happier, harmonious relationship.

​

We never exceed 6 dogs per class as studies have shown that six is a normal dynamic range for a group of dogs to be in. Any more than this and the environment may become uncomfortable, causing inabilities to learn.
