PUPPY HOME SCHOOL
When Should you Begin
Puppy Training?
From 8 weeks to around 16 weeks is ideal. Your puppy will
be ready to absorb basic lessons and will learn what is
and is not acceptable behaviour in your home. As soon as
a puppy starts its new life with you and your family, you
should begin to set in place the routines and practices
that will lead to a satisfying and rewarding relationship
between the dog and its human family.
Why Train a Puppy?
Just as a child needs nurturing and careful guidance to
become a successful and socially adept adult, so a dog needs
your skills and understanding to help it develops into a
happy, secure animal.
Early training helps to avoid behaviour problems such as
biting, digging, barking & jumping up.
What Does Puppy Training Involve?
Our aim is to make training easy and, very importantly,
great fun for the puppy and for all the family. We will
guide you through a well-structured programme which introduces
health & handling theory as well as practical training
exercises specifically designed for puppies.
Where Is Puppy Home-School Held?
Ideally, in your own home with all the family present and
participating. Les personally trains his associates and
puppy specialists so that they have the wide knowledge and
experience to give you and your puppy the best possible
start.
For some people who live in rural areas, it is more economically
viable to bring the puppy to us. In such cases, we can keep
costs to a minimum and take you through the programme in
our premises.
