Puppy Paws Workshops!

Our Puppy Paws Workshops are fun one-off sessions for puppies up to (and including) 5 months.  They work brilliantly alongside puppy training classes, or ‘instead of’ classes if you haven’t yet found the right classes for you. We use reward-based methods to teach your puppy the foundations that they'll need to enjoy life with you to the full.  We will look at different methods to achieve your goals, discuss the pros and cons, and find the techniques that suit you best. 
 
In every workshop we’ll work on the core skills of focus, calm, confidence, connection with their handler and polite social skills; but each Workshop will have a different theme so that you can pick and choose which ones are right for you!

Possibly the most important skill to teach your puppy!  Learn some fun ways to build strong foundaitons to recall AND, just as importantly, learn about the common mistakes when teaching recall so that you can avoid them.

Loose Lead Walking - Sun 25th Aug 10am

Balancing our puppy's natural curiosty for the world, with walking nicely on lead can be a real challenge.  With strong foundations and an understanding of how your puppy moves through the environment you can set you and your puppy up for success because having a dog who pulls on lead is no fun for us.... or them!

Who are Puppy Paws Workshops for?

Fully vaccinated puppies up to (and including) 5 months old  

How long are the Puppy Paws Workshops?

 Each workshop is around 50 to 60 minutes allowing time for any questions to get advice on any challenges you may be facing as your puppy grows and develops; toilet training, mental enrichment, exercise, sleeping, biting chewing.... Raising a puppy can be hard, really hard, so this is a chance to ask questions and share experiences and tips with your fellow puppy 'parents'.
Puppies generally start to flag at around the 45 minute mark… you can usually set your watch by it!!

Where are the Workshops Held?

In our training field near Carleen. Full directions can be found HERE

 
 

Please note:

- For fully vaccinated puppies up to (and including) 5 months old.
- We train regardless of the weather unless it is unsafe to do - please come dressed appropriately.

- Please do not arrive early; we need to have time for each class to depart before the next class arrives – thank you.
-  Please park where directed to do so; the ground gets wet and we need to protect it as much as we can – there is enough hard standing if we park carefully!
