PUPPY PRESCHOOL
THE WELL GROOMED
I run a face to face puppy preschool program at
The Well Groomed.
For puppies aged 8 - 16 Weeks. Which runs for 4 weeks using positive reinforcement training.
IS THIS SERVICE FOR YOU?
The critical learning and socialisation period for dogs is 8 to 16 weeks of age.
For puppies in this age group Puppy Preschool Classes provide a safe positive environment for you and your puppy to learn important life skills that will allow your puppy to evolve into a friendly, well behaved, and social member of the family.
Puppy Preschool is the first step in a lifetime of behavioural guidance for you as a dog owner.
What you can expect is to:
• build a very positive foundation for appropriate behaviours with your puppy
• receive expert guidance on how to foster a lifelong positive connection with your puppy
• gain a better understanding of natural dog behaviours and how to work with a dog’s natural instincts
• learn positive training, basic cues and behaviour reinforcement techniques
The Puppy Preschool course consists of four, 1-hour classes, held weekly at The Well-Groomed Riverview.
With up to 5 puppies in each class, our Puppy Preschool classes provide:
-
Socialisation/interaction - with people and other dogs
-
Toilet training advice - no more 'oops'!
-
Familiarisation with the grooming salon - making visits less stressful
-
Settling and calming techniques
-
Troubleshooting - addressing any issues you may be having such as mouthing/biting
-
Teaching Tricks and playing games
-
Understanding dog psychology
-
General health care advice - diet, exercise, grooming for puppies
1. I recommend puppies commence Puppy Preschool training from 8-14 weeks of age to receive the maximum benefit from the classes. (Puppy Kindy is available for puppies that are older)
2. Your puppy must have received its first vaccination prior to the commencement of classes.
