Description

Congratulations on your new puppy or rescue dog! May you have lots of fun and enjoyment training them. In this course we aim to show you how to train your puppy/dog and to teach them the life skills needed for them to succeed in life and to make it a happy home for everyone.

These tutorials will show you how to teach your canine companion basic commands, like sit, down, stand, stay/wait. We have included a section totally for recall and all the core exercises we do for teaching a solid reliable recall.

Next, there is also a loose lead section, which was our online loose lead workshop that we created during Lockdown and all the core exercises needed to teach your pup to walk nicely on a lead.

Then we have a section, which is a little more advanced and the tutorials show you how to teach Leave, Stop, Drop and the Finishing Position.

Lastly for fun, and as an added extra, we have included a few tricks for you to teach your puppy/dog. These are spin (left or right) leg weaves and Play Bow

All our training is taught in a positive way and through reward based training. Dogs learn best by positive association and if they offer a behaviour and get rewarded for it, they are more likely to offer it again.

Who this course is for:

This course is ideal for the first time puppy/dog owner that would like to teach their canine companion all their basic skills from the comfort of their home. If you are already attending a class then these tutorials will help you to continue in your own time and are there should you be unsure how to teach something.
