A puppy needs a good learning foundation

A puppy needs a good learning foundation to become a confident adult. That’s why training a puppy is more than just teaching basic commands such as sit and stay. The most important aspect of the learning process is to introduce puppies to the environments and situations they are likely to experience during their lives. Socialisation with different objects, people, dogs, other animals, surroundings, noises etc. is very important for the future of a puppy.

Your Puppy’s brain is like a sponge and every experience is stored away in their memory affecting their personality. While a puppy might be born with a certain temperament, it is the way they are raised and the experiences the have that will truly determine their personality. The more positive and enriching experiences, the more confident your dog will be as an adult.

Puppies learn all the time, not just when they are being trained

Your behaviour and the way the puppy is handled will influence the development. Since punitive handling and harsh corrections will damage your pup as they mature, stay away from punitive trainers and any equipment that can be harmful, including shock, choke or prong collars.

Puppies need gentle guidance into making good decisions. They need to be allowed to investigate their environments and given positive reinforcement for the good behaviour. They also need to be redirected from unwanted behaviour. All puppies need boundaries, but these must be given in a humane way. A puppy that experiences fear or rough handling as growing up is more likely to become reactive and show aggressive behaviour later in life.

The time and effort spent giving your puppy a good learning foundation will pay off throughout their life. Puppies are certainly cute, but raising one can be very challenging. Seeing a pup develop into a confident adult, however, is worth all the hard work.

When it comes to training, the early weeks and months of your puppy’s life are essential.

The most critical time for your puppy’s learning is between 8-12 weeks.

This is the time period they are most open to new things and need to experience many different positive encounters to become a confident adult. Dogs learn vital socialisation and communication skills when they are young. Therefore early life experiences influence how your puppy will play, communicate and learn as they develop into an adult dog.

What is the age range for puppies to join the class?

Your puppy should be between the ages of 8-20 weeks old for the first class and must have had at least one vaccination.
