Puppy Lessons
Ok, so you just got your beautiful, cute puppy home, how exciting.......now what?
Before long you are finding out that your little bundle of joy has very sharp teeth, has started to wee where ever and when ever he wants, is crying and keeping the neighbours (and you) up at night, decided to re-pot all the plants and modify the irrigation system and has decided your new Gucci's are tasty too. These are just some of the things that a new puppy owner will have to face, so it is important for you to start early and get the right information.
Puppy training is where it all starts. A dog’s habituation period is from 4 weeks to 16 weeks, meaning pretty much everything your puppy learns in that time is what your dog is going to become as an adult and how they will behave. So if you want a dog that is calm, well behaved and a pleasure to be with, early pack structure and training is a must. Don't be fooled by the fact "they’re just a puppy", it's never too soon to start!
Dog Ease offer Home visits or Puppy Classes.
During the home visits and puppy classes you will learn:
· How to become the leader
· Toilet Training
· Stop Biting
· Clicker Training
· Nutritional Needs
· Crate Training
· Sit
· Down
· Come
· Walk on lead
Puppy classes are an advantage as early socialisation is critical to your dog’s life. It is almost certain the dogs you see out and about that bark and seem to lose their mind when they come across another dog did not attend puppy school and have no pack structure at home. Teaching your dog to be calm and comfortable around other dogs of different breeds and sizes will benefit your puppy hugely when they are ready to go out into the world (or to the park at least).
In-Home visits allow for one-on-one training. They also give the trainer a chance to see the environment in which you are trying to teach your dog.
Puppies must be under 16 weeks old.
