FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - PUPPY CLASSES

DO YOU OFFER PLAYTIME IN YOUR PUPPY CLASSES?

We may facilitate playtime in our puppy classes, if the puppies who attend the class are of a suitable temperament and have matching play styles. All play is one-on-one: we do not allow 'five puppy pile-on'.

​

Playtime can have the opposite of the intended effect if a puppy is made to feal fearful or overwhelmed. Puppies are very impressionable, and negative social experiences at the puppy school age can result in reactivity or aggression later in life. 'Socialisation' is a misunderstood concept and does not mean puppies need to directly interact with other dogs and humans - exposing your dog to other puppies in class at a distance where they feel safe is great socialisation.

Please see this video for an explanation and example of our puppy playtime.

WILL I RECEIVE WRITTEN MATERIALS?

Yes. After enrolment, you will receive a digital welcome pack which includes some written materials and an online lesson. After each class, you will also receive an email with written resources which summarise new content covered during that lesson. Materials are provided even if you are unable to attend class due to illness or a scheduling clash.
