COURSE content:

Puppy School is a set of six puppy training classes lasting one hour each week and is a dedicated course designed to give puppies and their owners a well rounded start to dog training and socialisation. We use only reward based training methods and positive reinforcement (Lady & the Hound does not advocate the use of any form of aversive dog training methods and we will never use force or fear in our classes).

Lessons are fun as well as educational and we encourage all the family to join us in class - we welcome children especially. Classes are open to all vaccinated puppies up to 20 weeks old at their first class.

Training includes:

  • Come when called (recall)

  • Focus on owner around distractions

  • Sit/lie down and stand - on cue

  • Walk nicely on a loose lead without pulling

  • Settle and learn to relax

  • Stay/Wait

  • Drop

  • Be gentle

  • Sit when being greeted without jumping up

  • Stop play biting

  • On/off (beds and furniture)

  • Be accepting of people around food bowls, bones, toys and chews

  • Socialisation and polite puppy greetings (other dogs and people)

  • Polite puppy manners

  • Tricks

  • And more!

All attendees of our Puppy School course receive a full colour training manual, some gift certificates to use against Natures Menu and Butternut Box puppy food as well as some complementary training treats to use in classes with us. Puppies also receive a free puppy chew during their first puppy class with us!
