Pre-Puppy Preparation
A home visit* for prospective puppy owners, or those bringing home an older dog to which they are offering a new forever home, to ensure new guardians are ready and prepared to welcome their new companions!
We will discuss management within the home and garden, to ensure the new arrival has the best chance of staying safe and out of trouble and look at how successful management of the home environment can avoid development of resource related problem behaviours. Areas to encourage adequate rest opportunities will be investigated, and diet and health care provision can be explored. Equipment, toys and games beneficial to aid training of good habits on walks can be explored.

Puppy Foundations group class
Appropriate socialisation and familiarisation are absolutely key to puppy development and learning up to the age of 20 weeks old.
Fully vaccinated puppies up to the age of 20 weeks at time of joining are welcome to join our foundation skills group class. Puppies and guardians will learn foundation concepts and skills to ensure puppy matures into a calm and confident companion of whom their guardian can be proud.! Skills covered include calmness, loose lead walking, recall, handler focus and self-control, among others.
The Puppy Foundation class run for 6 consecutive weeks, with classes lasting between 45 and 60 minutes.
Group classes are held at an indoor venue at Llandudno Junction Industrial Estate (with thanks to Mochdre Vets). Class sizes are small and spaces are limited.
Premium Puppy Package
Incorporating home visits* with group Puppy Foundation Skills classes.
Learning can begin in the safety of your home, as soon as puppy comes home with you and prior to vaccinations. The package offers two 121 sessions, in your home environment, or in the great outdoors once puppy is vaccinated. In addition to this, puppy will be able to attend the full 6 sessions of the group Puppy Foundations Class.
It is highly recommended at least one 121 session is delivered in the home, prior to starting group classes. These are tailored to address your individual concerns, trouble shoot any early struggles and implement essential training protocols, such as those specific to known breed traits.
