Puppy Nursery 1hr £15
Puppy Nursery
GDT's 'Puppy Nursery' is a guided puppy socialisation and training class, run by a qualified dog trainer with years of experience in canine behaviour modification at a professional level.
This class will involve using science-based methods and techniques to promote controlled socialisation and neutrality in your dog, towards a range of stimuli, including new dogs and people. We will also enjoy opening the 'mystery box' each session to reveal a new mini-training focus! This mini training time will involve force free, positive reinforcement based training. The training focus for the session will be a surprise each time and will range from Puppy Training Basics, to having a go at Herding Ball, Rally-O or Scent Discrimination, to learning how to curb your dog's problem behaviours such as excessive barking, mouthing or pulling on the leash!
- All classes will begin with a bonding walk together on leashes;
- Then we will have 'greetings time' where certain pups may be chosen to demonstrate appropriate greeting behaviours, this will be guided and body language/canine communication narrated by Emily;
- We will move on to training time by opening the Mystery Box and learning a little something new or having some fun with our pups!
- After training we may have some off-leash play time! During this time the puppies can play freely in the safe, enclosed field, utilising the range of resources and equipment provided. Meanwhile, Emily will remain present during this time to answer questions, observe, keep everyone safe and point out any interesting canine behaviours so that you might learn a little something about how your dog communicates and feels in a range of situations - it's not often you have a canine professional with you whilst your dog makes some new friends for the first time!
- Finally, you will have the opportunity to secretly write down what you might like to see in our Mystery Box next session and that could be what we will learn about or experience next week!
Any puppy attending Puppy Nursery must be under 9 months old (unless a special allowance has been made by Emily Green).
