WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN PUPPY TRAINING

SAFE PUPPY SOCIALIZATION

TWO

VENUES

The course focuses on practical skills that make everyday life easier and more enjoyable.

​

Training includes:

  • recall training

  • loose lead walking

  • sit, down and stay

  • calm behaviour around distractions

  • confidence building

  • polite greetings

  • settling calmly

  • focus around other dogs

  • handling and grooming preparation

  • building appropriate social skills

​​

I focus on creating dogs that thrive in the real world rather than simply performing behaviours in a classroom.

Socialisation is one of the most important parts of puppy development.

However, effective socialisation is much more than allowing puppies to run around together.

Every social interaction in our classes is carefully managed to help puppies:

  • build confidence

  • learn appropriate social skills

  • develop positive experiences around other dogs

  • learn to remain calm around excitement

Shy, sensitive and more cautious puppies are always supported appropriately and never overwhelmed.

 

  • 6 Weeks

  • Class 1 Hour

  • £80/dog

  • Certificate on Completion

HERE FOR YOU!

I spend time a lot of time listening to your concerns in class - it matters. Any little issues you're struggling with, let me know how I can help.

​

We have fun in class! There's a great social & inclusive atmosphere & I love that, it's what makes my classes very popular - always a big warm welcome.

QUICK ADVISORY:

Excessively anxious, vocal, boisterous gogs are not suited to a class environment

Puppy Socialization - Done Properly

Socialisation is one of the most important parts of puppy development, but it must be done thoughtfully and safely.

​

Many puppy classes treat socialisation as uncontrolled play sessions. This can be overwhelming for nervous puppies and can create unwanted learning experiences.

​

At Perfect Pawz, socialisation is carefully managed to help puppies:

​

  • build confidence

  • learn appropriate social skills

  • feel safe around other dogs

  • develop positive associations with new experiences

​​

Every puppy progresses at their own pace and individual personalities are always respected.

This aligns strongly with modern behaviour science and current force-free expectations.

SUITABILITY REMINDERS

Class environments are not suitable for dogs who are excessively anxious, reactive, vocal or boisterous with other dogs or people, this is well highlighted and is for the benefit of all dogs - Dogs presenting with these behaviours will be asked to leave. I will gladly assist you via 1 to 1 Behavioural Support

 

Please do not attend class on the 'off-chance' your dog may be OK, or to 'socialize' an unsociable dog, this is not the aim of a puppy class and will more than likely result in stressing your pet (and others).  No refunds will be offered under any circumstances to owners terminating their place partway through for reasons citing the course to be not suitable for their dog - suitability is made very clear.

Please ask beforehand prior to booking if unsure - I will be more than happy to advise you & suggest the very best training route
