Enrolling in a good puppy class provides an excellent start for the whole family. Families learn how reward based training brings out the best in their puppies. The puppy gets to learn appropriate social skills and fundamental obedience exercises and owners will learn how to deal with puppy problems and how best to meet their puppy’s needs. The time from 3 – 16 weeks is a critical period of development, the opportunity to get your puppy socialized and exposed to many different experiences cannot be put off till later in life. Also start establishing good habits now rather than have to problem solve later. 

In the Puppy Head Start course we focus on the following: 

• Appropriate socialization skills / Polite greeting 
• Focus 
• Sit 
• Loose lead walking 
• Come when called
• Settle Down 
• Introduction to various distractions 
• Advice on dealing with puppy problems e.g. biting, house training, chewing etc
