Puppy training West Oxfordshire

Puppy training is force-free and uses positive reinforcement.  Puppies have an incredible capacity to learn and it is never too early for them to do so.  If a puppy has a secure attachment with their human parent/s this has a hugely beneficial impact on their wellbeing, their development and their future behaviour and positive puppy training is a key element in this.  Puppy training sessions are fun and incorporate learning through play as well as helping you to respond to your puppy’s needs.  Help with one to one puppy training may take place around another dog depending on your puppy’s vaccination status.

​Oxfordshire puppy training courses:
Four hour Puppy Training Starter Course / Six hour Puppy Training Starter Plus Course 

​Preferably at least one of these sessions will be within your puppy's sensitive period of development (up to 14 weeks of age) to help maximize your pup's future confidence and adaptability.  Meeting socialisation and developmental needs and learning through co-operative play are central.  Puppy training sessions and handouts should give you the guidance and information you need to do this.  Other benefits include:  
  • Teaching reward based puppy training tailored to your own and your puppy's unique needs and preferences.
  • Training in 'real life' situations e.g. home, quiet town environments and more rural areas.
  • Flexibility in the time, frequency and duration of one to one training sessions to meet your needs.
  • Support with a puppy preparation session (if required).
  • Coaching around another puppy or dog.
  • A four or six hour course of puppy training instruction within a three month period with comprehensive training notes and handouts provided.
