'Puppy walks and socialisation' session

Puppies need to have lots of positive experiences with all the associations of the outside world, and it is important for your puppy to feel safe, confident and happy when out and about. In this consultation, we take you and your puppy through all of the experiences in a positive way so we will habituate to traffic, cyclists, joggers, unfamiliar noises, greeting other puppies/dogs and people etc. We will also make a start on getting your puppy to walk nicely on the lead learning not to pull.

If you haven’t already taken your puppy off the lead on a walk, we can help you to gain the confidence to do this.

These two one hour sessions are a great way to make sure your puppy’s first trip out into the big wide world goes as smoothly as possible, helping to prevent your pup being scared of the things it will encounter for the first time.

Our ‘Puppy walks and socialisation’ consultations lasts 2 hours.

Please contact Alice for further information.

• Does your puppy need to build some confidence prior to coming to classes?
