Course Information
Introductory Session
There will be complimentary light refreshments available at this session, including; tea, coffee, fruit juice, biscuits and cakes.
Due to a particularly virulent strain of Kennel Cough, around at present, I would advise all clients to consider having their dog inoculated against this disease at least two weeks prior to attending classes. This is a subject best discussed with your own veterinarian. I am aware that this doesn’t prevent all strains of Kennel Cough but I feel that it may be a sensible precaution, although I’m happy for clients to take this decision themselves and not insist upon it. Protection against Kennel Cough is not part of a standard vaccination programme.
You will be given a free information pack and a goody bag containing a toy and treats and samples from premium dog food manufactures such as, Feelwells, Bob & Lush and Fish4Dogs.
We also have a competitively priced shop selling toys, treats and other canine related items, so you may wish to bring cash for any optional purchases. Your puppy is not required for this session but will be required for all of the following practical sessions.
This session is a fantastic opportunity to ask a qualified Canine Behaviourist about all those issues which you may be experiencing at home with your puppy, such as housetraining, mouthing, jumping up etc. However, if you need extra assistance during the course, Caroline is happy to answer any emailed queries between the weekly sessions, so that you are supported throughout the training course.
Practical Sessions
We don’t permit or advocate the use of aversive or punitive equipment or behaviour towards puppies in our classes. All of our training is reward based and relies upon positive reinforcement to teach our puppy how we would like it to behave. We all would like a well behaved and obedient puppy but you can’t blame the puppy if you fail to train the puppy! They need to be taught how to behave, they aren’t born knowing this!
Puppy classes have a maximum of ten puppies in a class, to ensure that each puppy gets the individual tuition they require but also that we have enough puppies to practice our exercises around. Most puppies will listen to their owners when in the home environment but not when out in the exciting, big, wide world! Our classes aim to address this.
Classes are designed to be fun and informative for the whole family and you are welcome to bring children to the classes and they can participate in training their dog.
Your puppy will learn; sit, down, stand, heel, leave, drop, stay and recall. We will also cover unwanted barking, attentions seeking, jumping up and handling and grooming your puppy. Everything they need to become well adjusted dogs and good canine citizens!
Previous client are welcome to continue to purchase from our shop, even when they have finished training with us! We would ask that you either contact us with your shopping list and we will assemble your order ready for you or shop with us either prior to classes starting or at the end of the weekly sessions.

Testimonials
Through the classes I have met some new friends, along with Dora, who we meet up with regularly for walks and coffee. That side of it has also been invaluable as we share experiences and tips etc.. Ooh and the odd glass of wine. (for us not the dogs of course)
Ooh and a huge thank you for introducing Dora to the love of her life Pip. They absolutely love each other. Shame he’s been done as they would have made gorgeous Shih Tzu pups!
Coming to Puppy Foundation Level class and Bronze returner were really important and useful for me and Dora and really appreciated all the advice and support offered by Caroline.
Thank you again Caroline… I have a feeling we’ll be back for silver.
Thanks for everything.
