Puppy School & Dog Training Training For Your Puppy

For all your puppy training needs, Rosebery Vet has partnered with Mark, from Canine Counselling. We’re loving our partnership with Mark, a highly qualified trainer whose expertise is evident in the results he and his trainers achieve. Mark and his team of trainers have fine-tuned their skills to teach your furry friend to be obedient, happy, and healthy. From everyday cues to basic tricks, their positive reinforcement techniques are designed to help your pup become the best version of themselves. Their comprehensive training will also help new puppy owners and their families learn how to build a strong, mutually respectful relationship with their puppy.

Why Join Our Puppy School?

Socialisation

Your puppy will learn to comfortably socialise with people and with other puppies of a similar age, in a supervised environment that is fun and safe. Having your puppy trained in social skills will give you peace of mind when taking him or her out in public places. You’ll know that your pet will be well mannered and not aggressive toward humans or other animals.

Support:

You’ll receive all the support you need from the dedicated and enthusiastic trainers. They will answer all your puppy related questions and address any concerns you may have about your pet’s progress or behaviour. They’ll help you to increase your puppy handling skills and knowledge. If needed, Mark can offer extra one-on-one individual support, separate from puppy class.

This training will teach puppy parents:

How to build and nurture a strong, trusting relationship with their furry friend
How develop and reinforce good manners and polite social behaviour in their puppy
How to support their puppy physically, mentally and emotionally
How to build communication skills, and how to read doggy body language

Puppies will also develop basic skills including:

Understanding and obeying the ‘sit’ cue
Coming to you when called
Learn to lie down when asked
Understand to ‘leave’ when asked

Topics discussed in class:

Biting and chewing behaviours
Puppy toilet training
Jumping up at, or on people and furniture
Separation anxiety and boredom behaviours such as;
Crying
Digging
Barking

What Age Do Puppies Go to Puppy School?

This training utilises the latest, best practice techniques and a positive reinforcement method which is most effective if puppies start their training at 8 to 14 weeks old.

If your furry friend is over the age limit for puppy school, you are welcome to book private training at your home. We can provide more personalised solutions for your older dog, or address any specific issues. Teaching an old dog new tricks may take a little more time and patience but it can be done and will benefit you and your dog. Talk to us to find out more about training your older pooch.

Classes And Booking Options

Classes start approximately every 2 weeks, and are held on a weeknight or a weekend evening. To see upcoming available classes, please contact Mark:

When you book your training and pay your deposit, you will receive a confirmation email immediately with details about what to bring to the classes. You’ll also receive a reminder email 24 hours prior to the first class.

We look forward to welcoming pet owners with their precious new puppies, and helping them build a strong foundation for the many years of fun and companionship ahead.
