Puppy School isn’t just about teaching “tricks” it’s much more than that.

Early guidance can not only set your puppy up for success but also yourself. Understanding how they learn and how you need to communicate can help you for the rest of their life 🐾

Puppy School Foundations Classes.

Our classes are made for your puppy to learn key skills for everyday life. Guided through place training, crate training, settling, alone time foundations, socialising and exposure, toileting, biting, jumping and more usual puppy behaviours!

They learn the skills of sit, drop, stay, place, settling, leave it, follow my hand, & much more!!

What do you learn? how your puppy communicates, what behaviours you should focus on based on their age, temperament and breed. How to reduce separation anxiety, frustration and prepare for those adolescence years 🐶🐶🐶 You learn how to properly communicate and speak your dogs language.

Love all these little monkeys 🐾

Think your dog is ignoring and it’s making you frustrated?

Sometimes it’s not always what you think, take time to listen to what you’re dog is communicating, be patient and make a plan together 🤎🤎🤎

I get asked about crate training all the time, especially when a puppy already seems to sleep well without one.

For me, one of the biggest benefits of crate training during puppyhood is being able to help your puppy get the rest they need. Puppies don’t always recognise that they’re tired or know how to switch themselves off. Sometimes the biting, zooming, grabbing everything and suddenly not listening is actually an overtired puppy who needs a nap.

The crate isn’t just for overnight sleep it is a FANTASTIC tool when you need it. 🐾🐾

Misconception about training that it’ll change who your dog is, it’s sometimes the opposite!

Every dog has a personality type just like we do, when starting training and working through behavioural change we look into who your dog is, what they’re trying to communicate and start to structure a plan to work with them.

To give them opportunities to express themselves but in appropriate ways!

Need to teach your dog to drop a toy? We did with Kuma.

Kuma LOVES to play but once he was invested in the game, letting go of the toy was a completely different story. Before this he would not let go of the toy, ever.

So instead of waiting until he was highly excited, gripping the toy and then repeatedly asking him to “out”… we went back and taught the skill not in an active play session.

First, he needs to understand what “out” actually means when his arousal is lower and the decision is easier.

Then we can gradually bring that skill back into Kuma LOVES to play — but once he was invested in the game, letting go of the toy was a completely different story.

Then we can gradually bring that skill back into play, we don’t want to add too many rules when developing play and removing the toy may be punishing, so teach it away from your game 🐶🐶

Your dogs not stubborn, they probably need more information.
