Puppy 1 Course

£90.00

For puppies under 6 months (for older puppies check out Puppy 2).

The course objective is to give dog owners a practical and theoretical knowledge of the basic commands and training methods required to produce an obedient, happy and confident puppy. Dogs learn at different rates therefore exercises will be adapted to suit each dog’s individual ability.

During the course:

  • Owners will learn how to train their dogs in the basic commands using positive reinforcement methods (clicker and rewards).
  • Learning will come from demonstrations, explanations and practical application.
  • Handouts will be emailed after each class to enhance and support their learning.
  • Owners will need to practice with their dog, for a short period most days, in order to get the most out of this course.
  • Owners will build their knowledge and training skills week by week (as will the dog).

Price: £90

Please see our Events Calendar for course dates and enquire for availability.

Clear

Lead and Listen only use science based positive training methods to reinforce the behaviours that are desirable from our dogs. Positive reinforcement training is force free, fun and very effective.

Collette has used these methods with great success to train her two Labrador Retrievers and won numerous awards in gundog working tests, a hugely rewarding hobby for her and her dogs, in which they have to work together as a team to get the job done. It fulfills the dogs’ natural drive to retrieve game which makes for happy and content gundogs. She regularly works at a shoot and competes in field trials, which are the top level of gundog competition.

Time

Puppy 1 is a six-week course of one-hour classes. Please check the calendar for current class times.
