We love young puppies and have specifically developed this program for early learners that really amplifies their gradual and positive exposure to people, other dogs and novel objects, surfaces and sounds.
Socialising goes far beyond what you may expect so we have designed each class to truly maximises their opportunities for learning through a range of fun games with you, to build trust and engagement.
Obedience can be taught at any age but the social acceptance window is up to 16 weeks so we aim to maximise this period as much as possible so have designed the Early Learning puppy program with this in mind.

What do we do differently and why?
Our aim is to make you aware of the priorities with our puppies in this particular age group to build resilience, confidence and the beginnings of focus through different activities each week. We aim to educate you on what to concentrate on during this 'critical socialisation' period and how to ensure you are building the right patterns of behaviour from the beginning.
We provide:
A large indoor space to ensure puppies have room to move and interact safely without being intimidated
A range of obstacle and agility equipment for puppies to investigate
Novelty items each week like dress-up
Sound desensitisation training during play
Grooming tables and equipment to build confidence and positivity with handling
A range of toys and snuffle mats for puppies to play with during class
Individual comfy mats to build safety spots for calmness

Socialisation
Each week we add new environmental stimuli in to the class. This adds up a lot of elements of socialising to the puppies, as they get to experience different sights, sounds and smells. We observe the puppies personalities, size, age and breeds and match them accordingly for positive interactions. All family are welcome to attend, including children that we can involve in the training under parent supervision. |
Travel Training
Going to and from classes ensures your pups are getting used to traveling in your car for a period of time. We don't want the experience to be solely about going to the vets in this period so having a fun class in the middle of your travel can really boost their confidence in the car and minimise anxiety or nausea. |
Manners Training
During your classes we incorporate aspects of focus training which will help calm your puppy and ensure you can reinforce some great manners. This prevents puppies from becoming over stimulated when there are other distractions but puppies have short attention spans so we try and keep them busy with enrichment opportunities. |

What topics do we cover?
|
What is the duration of the course? How long are the classes?
Alternatively, from the standard vet programs that usually run for only 4 weeks, our programs run for 6 weeks. We find that short courses leave too many gaps in the owner's knowledge and skills to be able to build a strong foundation for properly socialising and educating their puppies. Puppies have a really short attention span so during our 1 hour class we have several breaks for them to have water and a play to reset them for training and set them up to succeed. These little breaks allow them to process what we are teaching them and build up value for the training, so next time you train they are more likely to want to do it again. |
