Puppy Playschool

For puppies up to 5 months (approx.). Puppy class is all about preventing problems later in life.
Informal, relaxed weekly class where puppies learn how to greet other dogs and people calmly. Any puppy playtime will be carefully monitored between well matched individuals, we don’t allow ‘free for all’ play sessions but aim to build up confidence or teach self control where appropriate and each puppy’s needs will be carefully assessed. Time given to discuss normal puppy issues like Play biting, House training, and Socialisation. Advice on toys and equipment. Handling exercises. Basic training including sit, Down, Come and leave.
