Top advice!!!!!!! If you have a puppy under 5 months read below… lots of key points & advice

Be wary of dog training schools that DONT HAVE SPECIFiC AGE CLASSES…. Puppies are very different under 5 months old-

Their concentration span is different
Their needs are different
The way we train them is different as in their socialisation window so haven’t got enough confidence yet.
The owners needs are different
There needs to be advice on mouthing, toileting & destruction that dogs over 5 months don’t normally need so time needs to be dedicated to that.

That’s why we separate young pups & foundation life skills. A lot of trainers join these age groups together due to not being able to fill their classes this shows the insufficient demand of their training school. If they are a good school with built up clientele they can separate their levels. Also look for a full time school most trainers do it 1/2 a week trainers that train 6-8 nights a week are having more hands on experience.

Other important pointers-

1) Look at the size of room (ours is 3500 sq ft arena with secure dog woods)

2) Stay away from shiny floors this is not good for your puppies skeletal development, they have to tense & can slip easily, their bones are so soft they need to be able to grip easily.
3) Stay away from pup classes that let the pups off to bomb it round each week, videos of them chasing each other round, this is harmful for the socialisation window resulting in over boistrous pups or fearful pups with no coexistance skills (we only let them off in week 3 round a dog adventure course full of food in twos so they learn to coexist, the environment is more exciting!

4) look at their experience & qualifications as the dog training world is unregulated field, click here to view ours

5) Pick a school that offers flexible learning that can offer replacement weeks for any classes you miss & digital notes with videos of their demos so you can catch up at home (we offer all of this at HH DTS.

My 5 year old walking pet dog Lily, it’s so important to teach a loose lead walk so the whole family can enjoy the walk & then your not putting any added pressure on your dogs skeletal development, I think this is why our dogs all live our their life spans so far

When your dogs are well behaved in public it changes family life! Lots of dogs we saw when away were barking, lunging, growling on lead. When owners went to order they couldn’t ask their dogs to stay whilst they collected drinks of food at bar. W have 3 children so it is crucial that the foundations are there to include them in our holidays & day to day to life without added stress, join our life skills course to learn the fundamentals of making life easier when out in public with dogs
