Puppy classes

We run two courses; WTD Puppies stage 1 and WTD Puppy Progress stage 2.  Our five week courses are held every Tuesday evening for one hour at Leverstock Green Village Hall.  Our courses are designed to help you; understand your puppy, learn what drives his behaviour, teaches you how to promote the wanted behaviour, as well as learning how to deal with the unwanted stuff too.  We use positive re-enforcement through praise and food reward.  Choke collars, check chains and other gadgets are strictly forbidden.

Our stage 1 course is aimed at puppies aged up to 4/5 months.  The course will give you and your dog…

  • the opportunity to meet other young dogs in a calm and controlled environment
  • understanding of how dogs think and the importance of not pressuring your pup
  • teach you how to avoid unwanted behaviours
  • basic training from recall to walking to heel
  • the tools you need to ensure you have a long and happy relationship with your dog
  • plus a goodie bag for your pet
  • classes are held indoors, ensuring your puppy is in a calm and controlled environment

Our stage 2 course is aimed at puppies from 6/7 months and helps your young dog get to grips with further training skills, as well as maintaining those already learned, plus we teach you some fun tricks too.  This course is essential as most pups reach puberty around this time – it keeps them ‘on track.’

Maximum of five puppies per class to ensure you and your dog receive the care and attention you deserve.
All puppies must be fully vaccinated.
