Are you a first-time dog owner or have you recently adopted a rescue dog? Family Dog's 3-week tailored puppy training programme is designed to meet the individual needs of your puppy in a calm and familiar environment – your home.
Lessons are designed by an experienced Canine Behaviourist and unlike traditional group puppy classes that can be overwhelming with distractions, our sessions focus on what matters most: building the right skills for your dog’s long-term success.
The full course is £140 which also includes, worksheets, puppy chews and homework to help you practice your newly learnt skills at home.
The course includes three one-hour sessions, typically completed weekly, although some owners opt for a 4–5 week period to allow time to practice between lessons.
The agenda is as follows, but because this is a tailored program, and can be adjusted based on you and your dog's specific needs:
Lesson 1: Name recognition, gentle handling, confidence-building games, toilet training, bite inhibition, sit and lie down and positive play.
Lesson 2: Leave it, getting your puppy to settle and stay on command, give training and owner focus (building the foundations for loose-lead and heel walking).
Lesson 3: Managing reactivity, front-door rehearsals, socialisation (not just exposure), loose lead walking and heel walking.
