Puppy School

The aim of these classes is to encourage early socialisation and basic training of puppies on a reward basis, along with information about worming, feeding, and showing you dosing techniques and other useful handling skills.

Instructors

Our instructors have been trained by Charlie Clarricoates, a local well-known dog trainer and member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers.

  • Flo Merritt
  • Mark Merritt
  • Vicki Gee
What is involved?

Weekly, 1 hour sessions for 6 weeks. Classes are on-going; you can join at any stage (subject to an available place). Sessions are limited to 2 handlers per dog (including no more than 1 child per dog), but we encourage other members of the family to come as observers so that everyone handles the puppy in the same way. This is a reward-based system for your dog and there will be homework each week for you!

When can my pup start?

Any time after their first vaccination up to 20 weeks old.

When and where are the classes held?

On Monday evenings from 7.30pm - 8:30pm.

Classes are held at our practice, either in our fenced off puppy paddock, or in the practice building depending on the weather.
