Congratulations! You have a
new puppy! By adolescence the work needed to re-train your dog is enormous compared to the amount that it would have taken to work with your young puppy. Your young pup is constantly learning about the world and the rules regarding how to behave in it. Your pup does not mind missing out on formal training- he will happily train himself! However, the lessons he chooses to pick up are not usually the ones owners would choose! So don't wait and just have your fingers crossed that the pro The Puppy School Class is nationally recognised and was started by Gwen Bailey, an internationally acclaimed behaviourist. Gwen has written many books on dog and cat behaviour and has developed the successful set of classes known as Puppy School. All tutors have been selected due to their experience and background and are thoroughly trained. Puppy School is aimed at those of you with young pups- from vaccination to 20 weeks of age. This class provides a training for life regime that is aimed to teach your puppy obedience commands such as sit, down, stand and come. Your pup will meet other pups and people and experience events that he/she may otherwise miss out on. You will also be taught how to teach your pup to walk nicely on his/her lead. Who Can Come To Puppy School Class? Pups should be fully vaccinated before their first class. Some vets may allow a pup to come after its first vaccination depending on local risk. This decision is dependent on your vet so seek advice before starting class. This means that most pups will be about 12 weeks of age when they start. The cut off point is for pups over 20 weeks when they start- these are on the verge of adolescence and may learn to bully much younger pups rather than learning to interact nicely. If you would like to follow our class routine at home with your older puppy, please contact me to purchase the 'Training For Life' pack which includes:
The pack is intended for puppies between 3 - 5 months old, although the training principles are suitable for dogs of all ages. This pack is available to all clients booked into the Puppy School classes for £10*. (*subject to availability)
Classes are currently held at: St Swithun's Church Hall, Grovelands Road, Purley. 7.00pm and 8.15pm Tuesday evenings. New classes start every 3 weeks so you will not have to wait long to start training your puppy. There will be a MAXIMUM of 8 pups per class so that no pup should be left out or feel overwhelmed. For this reason early booking is essential. I will give you recommendations of work to do in-between classes. Remember the one hour session is there to direct you- the other 6 days and 23 hours a week are for you to do the work! 1. Your puppy! Preferably
hungry for his dinner. Cost. We ask that you bring your pup for a course of 6 socialisation classes. The course costs £60 and includes weekly handouts and a free training gift (a Training For Life DVD ). We ask for the full payment to be made when you book in for the course as we will reserve your place and will turn down other potential clients once you have confirmed. Extra classes or individual sessions are often available at special rates. Your tutor for the Purley area is now Emma-Clare Dunnett who is also a vet nurse in Caterham. I am sure you will find her helpful and will enjoy her classes. E-mail to book your space now. Classes fill up quickly and I would hate for you to miss out. Let me know the age of your pup, what breed he/she is, and any other information you feel I should know. You will be sent the relevant forms for booking your place. I will get back to you as soon as possible with the details of when your pup can start. Alternatively you can call Emma-Clare Dunnett on 0208 660 94 34 and talk direct. 1:1 sessions and small day classes will be available in our new premises in Westerham, Kent (just off the M25/A25).
