The arrival of a new furry member of the family can be both wonderful and overwhelming. You want to do everything possible for your pup and raise it to be a happy, confident dog. This unique course, created and supervised by Dr Natalia Aira Bewick DVM, MSc CAB, MRCVS (Head of Clinical Animal Behaviour at the London Vet Clinic), teaches you the skills to become your puppy’s best educator. Early training helps build a strong relationship between your pup and its human family.
We guide you through the training and socialisation of your pup. To ensure personalised and effective training we recommend that for all pups you:
- Schedule 20-30 minutes of training five days a week. We recommend resting for two days because it is just as important as training.
- Record some training sessions so that we can tailor training to your pup. We will show you how to do this.
- Please read through the course material prior to the class. We’ll send you a reminder when it’s time to read it.
Please don’t bring your puppy to the first class. This session lasts about an hour and a half, and we need your full attention to provide you with the foundational skills for the rest of the course. Tea, coffee, and snacks are provided.
Following the introductory class, you will have six 45-minute sessions to learn and practise training skills as well as how to socialise your pup. (The course syllabus is below.)
There are three puppies in each training group. We ask that up to two people from your home participate in each class. This way, we can ensure a positive experience for you and your dog while also personalising the training. Please remember. DO NOT bring your pup to the first session. There are two groups, one at 4 PM and one at 5 PM. You and your pup will attend in the same group at the same time each week.
