What Your Puppy Will Learn

The Basics: Your pup will learn basic cues like sit, look, touch, down, relax and stay. These foundational skills will help you as a team to negotiate our busy urban environment.
Recall: A reliable recall is vital if you want to give your pup the freedom to be off leash in a safe area and play with their friends.
Loose Leash Walking: Your puppy will learn how to walk nicely on a loose leash, give you attention and sit when you stop. They will also learn how to walk in a heel position for crossing the road.
Sit To Greet: The jumping may be cute when they’re small – not so much when your puppy grows up! We can show you how to teach your pup to sit to greet from an early age.
Management: Life out with a puppy has its challenges. Literally everything goes into their mouths! Cues like “drop it” and “leave it” will help you manage this when you are out and about.
Self-Control: Puppies learn self-control in close proximity to other pups and their families. This with mat training translates to sitting quietly at a café, with practice.

What You Will Learn

How to “speak dog”: Being able to read your puppy’s and other dogs’ body language is absolutely essential and allows you to determine how they are feeling. Then you can make better decisions based on what you see, and you will end up with a confident, well-balanced and happy dog.
Toilet Training: We can show you how to train your pup where the toilet is – in a positive way. You will learn the keys to success and have your puppy toilet-trained in no time.
Socialisation: Puppies go through several (critical) socialization periods that can be pivotal in how they turn out as adults. We can show you what to expect and when, and how to safely socialize your puppy at their pace.
Problem Solving Skills: Like humans, dogs go through several different phases in their development. From fear periods to rebellious teenagers. We can give you the necessary skills to successfully navigate your way through these stages in their life.

What To Expect

Week 1

Our first lesson is theory-based and viewed online in the Puppy Classroom

In this lesson we cover topics including toilet training, managing biting and chewing, alone time, sleeping arrangements, setting boundaries and socialisation.

Week 2-5

Practical lessons at My Vet Doggy Daycare show you how to teach your puppy the basics and beyond. It’s more about teaching you than your pup!

Once you know what you are doing, your pup will follow and you can work as a team.

Homework

Each week you will receive clear instructions on what you should be working on outside of class.

Training puppies takes time, patience, and consistency, but it’s an investment in your future together and it’s fun!

Application

We will give you the confidence and skill to apply what you have learned in the program to real-life situations.

We will also teach you how to prevent problem behaviours from developing in the first place.
