Puppy Preschool

Puppies respond very well to gentle, insistent training.  They have the ability to learn up to 200 words provided they are used in correct and consistent context.

Handlers and their pups may join our Puppy Class 10 days after the 12-week injection and up until the age of 16 weeks. Please bring your puppy with you on the first day, there is no orientation day for handlers of young puppies.

This class covers:

• socialisation of the young pup
• how to establish the hierarchy within the family
• good behaviour inside and outside the home. 
• communications between you and your dog.
• skills in handling your dog
• insightful tips on commencing obedience training.

Our instructor will show you how to teach your puppy to ‘sit’, lie ‘down’, ‘stand’ (great for bathing), ‘come’ when called, walk on lead, beginning stages of ‘heel’ and ‘stay’ (for a short period) within the five week course.

Handlers are encouraged to bring small food treats (rewards) to assist in training.

Your pup should be wearing a leather or strap collar and a 1m lead.

Puppy Class commences at 2:00 pm Sundays and handlers should arrive no later than 1:30pm for vetting (puppy's health check). A puppy and handler joining Brush Farm Dog Training Club for the first time should arrive at 12:30 on the first day to allow time for registration.

NOTE: Puppy classes do not start every week. PUPPY CLASSES COMMENCE ON 19 September, 2010 AND CONTINUE FOR FOUR WEEKS. NUMBERS ARE RESTRICTED TO 10.
