It is really important for the puppy to learn their social skills, such as bite inhibition, approaches towards other dogs and appropriate play. They also need to learn to listen to, and interact with their owners around other dogs, people and distractions as soon as possible. The benefits of training in an outdoor environment with all the natural distractions such as scents, wildlife and noise will give your puppy the best start possible. How old does my puppy need to be to attend? Your puppy can attend class after their first jabs. The classes run up to the age of six months. What do I need to bring to sessions? Do not feed your puppy at least 2 hours before doing any training. Please ensure you bring with you a motivational toy and/or high value soft treats that your puppy likes, a fixed lead and collar and of course poo bags, however if you have forgotten bags or treats, you can buy them from our dog shop on site.
