Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How old does my dog have to be to come to your classes?
A. Your pup or new dog can come to classes as soon as your vet is happy for them to be out and about. The youngest dog we have had was 11 weeks old. The oldest a stunning 15 years old.
===================================
Q. Which class would be most suitable?
A. This depends on the age and temperament of your dog and any previous learning.
Puppy Classes are generally for pups up to 20 weeks, but an older pup or shy dog may benefit from coming along. Companion Dog classes are suitable for dogs that have no or very little training and the other classes are best for dogs who have basic skills
Q. What happens in the class?
A. Again this depends on which class you attend. Puppy lifeskills class is getting your pup out and about and used to the world, being handled, meeting other dogs, playing, and follow the treat training.
Companion dog life skills is a 6 week course designed to help you and your dog live together in harmony.
Companion dog plus is at the request of owners and we can do whatever you want. Including working towards Silver and Gold rewards
