During this time you will be taught the essentials to help you and your puppy form a respectful working relationship, learn basic dog training techniques to encourage good behaviour and develop clear communication.
The puppy foundation class is intended for puppies and young dogs who have completed their vaccinations and have received minimal training. All our classes are non-competitive with the emphasis on progressing your dog's learning and understanding, the class is held weekly and lasts 45 minutes.
On completion of the course, should you wish to continue your dog's training, we have a range of classes that can help you both develop further.
