Puppy Classes Edinburgh, What to Expect

These are blocks of 4 or 5 weeks of 50 minute classes, run in a spacious hall, with outside space and on street parking. I run small classes so I can give individual attention to all the owners and puppies and keep things as relaxed as possible.

Puppy Classes

We will cover:

Calmness
Relationship building
Proximity & Orientation - vital for recall and lead walking
Focus and engagement with you
Confidence
Disengagement
Foundations for loose lead walking and recall
Household manners
Play and socialisation
Troubleshooting puppy behaviours e.g. biting, toileting
Preventing unwanted behaviours developing
Enrichment

Each session will be supported by notes, links to relevant videos and additional resources. A private whats app group will be set up to send info through and to provide support throughout the block.

Have a read of my reviews, I aim to make the classes enjoyable and fun for owners and puppies, whilst teaching the above.

*Vaccinations

• Puppies ideally should have completed their primary vaccinations.

• Some schedules (e.g. Lepto 4) mean there may be a longer gap between doses.

• Early, controlled socialisation has big benefits for puppies and a strong role in preventing behaviour struggles.

To minimise risk until they are fully vaccinated:

Puppies should be carried in to avoid outdoor contamination
They will have their own water bowl
They should avoid close contact with other puppies (unless they are fully vaccinated).
Advise me if this is the case.
