Nothing can take the place of taking your pup to puppy socialization classes, but there are instances when family and work committments just dont allow time for this important part of your pup's education or it may well be the case that your pup was unwell and you couldnt take him/her. For those who have had to miss puppy socialization, I have put together a once-off lesson wherein you will learn all the basics that are needed in order to help you to make your pup a well behaved member of the home. This session includes:-
a. House Rules - the do's and dont's of dog ownership and how to implement them.
b. Bite Inhibition - teaching your pup to take food 'gently' from your hand and how to cope with 'mouthing'
c. Swap Exercise - teaching your pup how to relinquish items from its mouth easily
d. Sit, Stand and Down
e. Recall Exercise - how to make sure your pup comes to you every time you call
f. Loose Lead Walking - how to easily teach your pup not to pull on the lead.
g. General - subjects such as jumping up, digging etc will be addressed.
h.Food Bowl Exercise - to teach your pup how to accept people touching his food without any reaction
You will receive a comprehensive booklet listing the above as well as giving you further information which will prove helpful in dog ownership. Should you have children, you will be given information on children approaching and interacting with dogs and how to avoid dog bites.
This session either takes place in the comfort of your home or at my training grounds at Don Mattera (previously Norman House) which is a safe and secure location in 1st Ave, Edenvale. The session is in to region of one and a half to two hours.
