CERTIFICATE, ROSETTE & PUPPY PACK
Puppies can start when they are vaccinated (usually 10-13 weeks) and be under 18 weeks of age when the course begins. With lots of instructor time and loads of expert advice on caring for your puppy, this class is great for first-time puppy owners. The foundations of good behaviour are taught in this class so it is a must for any young dog. Teaching includes care of your puppy, appropriate play with people and other dogs, walk on a lead, come when called and other basic commands like SIT, DOWN, STAND, and SETTLE. We will cover the usual puppy problem behaviours of jumping up, biting, house training, barking and any other queries you have. Classes include controlled socialisation with people and dogs and an introduction to canine body language.

CERTIFICATE & ROSETTE
This scheme was designed and is monitored by The Kennel Club. Our courses support the Bronze, Silver and Gold levels of achievement. We will show you how to teach essential skills such as walk on a loose lead, come when called, stay, get in and out of the car under control, emergency stop, play nicely, go to bed, leave or give up food and toys, and walk safely off lead at different paces. There are also controlled opportunities for your dog to meet and greet other dogs and people in appropriate, non stressful ways using your dog's own negotiating and communication skills. There is a theory section on caring for your dog. Testing takes place at club, and you will be tested by a KC-approved examiner.
Advanced
