Puppy & Foundation Skills
This is a 6 week group class which we hold at our three venues:
Community Centre in Hesketh Bank on Tuesday evenings at 7pm.
Orthodox Church Of The Holy Apostles, Leyland on Thursday evenings at 7.30pm.
Mawdesley Pooch Park on Saturday Mornings at 10am.
The class is specifically designed for young dogs and puppies that may be either new to training or just need a refresher in foundation skills such as recall, lead walking, focus, confidence and lots more.
Using positive reinforcement, we help your dog understand that being calm and polite when around others means that they can interact safely.
Areas covered include:
Why positive reinforcement is the best way to teach your dog
Diet and the use of treats, toys and play
What socialisation really means
The basic cues including sit, stay, lie down – and why these are important
How to begin loose lead walking
Working with the right harness, flat collar and the use of long lines
An introduction to a reliable recall
The differences between Drop and Leave it
Mental enrichment
An introduction to Settle training
Focus & Engagement
We also provide handouts covering key areas so that you can practice at home as well as access to our demonstration videos.
The 6 Week course costs £90
