Puppy School

It’s time for school!

Owning a puppy is a huge responsibility! Your puppy is dependant on you for many things including shelter, food and companionship. In addition to these basic needs, you are responsible for your puppy’s behaviour and obedience training. If done properly your puppy will have a better chance to grow into a happy, well adjusted adult with whom you can enjoy many years to come….

Testimonial: “I really enjoyed the puppy talk with Dr Liam, the information provided was very interesting, informative and helpful. It will definitely help me with raising my puppy. I think this is a great idea for new puppy owners or people thinking about getting a puppy. This is particularly useful for people who have never had a dog before so that they can know what to expect when buying a puppy.” Alannah Carroll

Give your puppy the best start...

The most vital stage in your puppy’s behavioural development is between 8 to 16 weeks of age. During this time puppy’s learn how to respond to our world and how they are meant to act in it.

Puppy school provides a safe, controlled environment for puppies to learn social skills and basic training. Puppies are taught using positive reinforcement techniques and basic obedience commands such as sit, drop, come and walking on a lead are all covered. We will also help you with advice regarding toilet training, digging, biting, jumping etc.

What happens at classes?

Puppy classes are held on week nights starting at 6.45pm. The course consists of five sessions held over 5 weeks. The first session runs for 90 minutes and is an introductory class run by Dr Liam Brown covering all the things you need to know to get your pup off on the right paw. This is not to be missed as the information that you get at this class will change the way you progress through the next 4 weeks of puppy classes!

There are no puppies on the first night. Sessions 2-5 are interactive fun classes where we put into practice the training we have learnt as well as some socialisation. All breeds of puppy are welcome but they must be aged between 8 -16 weeks to commence the course and they must have received their first vaccination.

All breeds of puppies are welcome but they must be aged between 8 and 16 weeks to commence the course and they must have received their first vaccination. Family members, including children (over 7 years) are encouraged to attend the classes to learn the techniques for socialising and training your puppy.

Testimonial “These classes are not to be missed! Especially the night with Dr Liam. The information that we got there was invaluable and changed the way we went about socialising our new puppy.

Testimonial: “We thoroughly enjoyed the talk from Liam. My husband and I both highly recommend it to anyone considering buying a puppy. We found it informative and helpful to consolidate our knowledge. It would be an excellent addition to the puppy classes you run, ideally before you take delivery of a puppy. Liam is a wealth of information and clearly demonstrates a passion for his work. Thanks again for a wonderful service!” Vanessa Taylor
