Puppy school

Objectives of puppy school
• Empowering puppy owners
The main objective of puppy classes is to enable puppy owners to manage their puppies effectively. You will be given the basic tools to fulfil your puppies needs and to teach the puppies acceptable behaviour. The knowledge and the practical skills will help you to become a more effective dog owner . Puppy classes help to prevent behaviour pro

blems just like vaccinations prevent diseases like parvovirus and distemper.
• Good manners for puppies
Puppies who are well behaved have a better chance of surviving in the households , not only because people don’t get cross with them so easily , but also because a clear understanding of appropriate behaviour makes them more self-confident, thereby enhancing their mental and emotional well being . The basic life skills for puppies are how to do things that people like eg. Not mess in the house, not jump onto people ect.
• Socialization and habituation opportunity for puppies
Positive and controlled exposure to common stimuli such as strange people and dogs (socialisation) and novel objects and situations (habituation) ensure that puppies are self confident and well equipped for the real world. Most people do not realise that the most common reason for euthanasia in pets is behaviour problems. Most of these problems can be prevented with the correct training of a young pup(except where problem is genetic, that is to say pup is born with the problem which may only manifest months later)
