You will never regret taking your puppy to Puppy Training
School and here are some tips to ensure a smooth start at
the first class. You will not be a spectator as you will
be totally involved in the training of your puppy and this
may mean also sitting on the floor. So, be prepared and
wear shoes with low heels and soft soles and dress in
comfortable casual clothes.
As skirts tend to flap in a dog's face it is a good idea to
wear trousers if possible and you will also need a pocket
or waist bag for tit-bits.
Some tips to prepare your puppy too. Place a collar on
your puppy long before the first day at school so that it
is totally used to wearing one at its first class.
You don't want an over excited puppy arriving at school on
its first day, so if you need to take the puppy by car to
the venue ensure that the puppy is used to travelling in
the car.
It is advisable to take the puppy for short rides in the
car a few days prior to starting school so that it gets
used to it.
It is not a good idea to feed your puppy just before
leaving for class. If their meal time is due rather feed
it an hour or so before you leave and then let it spend
time in the garden so that it can do its business. You
don't want the distraction of cleaning up accidents in the
class!
You can help your puppy by arriving at the Puppy School in
good time so that it can have another little run around
outside to get acquainted with the area and have time to
meet the other puppies too.
You will I am sure find that there are a variety of dogs
attending the same puppy class, but this will not be a
problem if your puppy is already used to socializing with
other dogs.
Be prepared to give the puppy a lot of reassurance and love
as it may be a little nervous if your puppy is not used to
other dogs. I recommend choosing a spot next to another
puppy of similar size to your own.
It really is important if you have enrolled your puppy at
Puppy School for a full course that you attend all the
classes with your puppy. However, if your puppy is not
well, it is still worth your while to attend the class
without your puppy and then once it is feeling better you
can catch up with the training at home.
Be sure to give your puppy lots of praise during and at the
end of each class and remember to do your homework before
the next lesson and practice what you both have learnt in
the training when you get home.
As consistency in training a puppy is very important share
the commands and training techniques that you learnt at the
puppy school with the other members of your family so that
you all use the same commands and avoid confusing the puppy.
