Northumberland Canine Centre
PUPPY CLASSES run on a Thursday at 1pm and 6pm. You can just turn up at these sessions.
As puppies can join us at any time, these courses pay weekly (£12) and run on continually.
One to one puppy training sessions are also available. Cost £60.
We take puppies from as early as 10 weeks old, as long as they have had their first innoculation and up to around 24 weeks.
Our classes cover all the important exercises such as
- Loose lead walking
- Recall
- Sit, Down & Stand
- Play (retrieve & tug)
as well as handling & grooming and general socialising with people & dogs.....where appropriate.
Not all puppies are confident enough to cope with regular socialisation. Our staff are trained to spot those puppies which have been born with a lack of confidence (which is genetic) and which may need a more careful & specific socialisation programme.
PLAY is very important to us and features in all of our training, from puppy class to top level competition.
PLAY is a great bonding activity between owner and dog but can also build confidence in a dog which is a bit anxious/nervous (which is genetic).
Some dogs which are more confident will need a higher level of control. We can do this through PLAY also!
Puppies are NOT allowed to run freely with each other, which we feel encourages out of control play...which we do not advise.
Focus will be on constructive & effective play with the owner instead!!
We also do confidence building play on equipment.
