Course Overview
Raising a Puppy can be a joyous time, however there are hurdles that all puppy owners experience from time to time that cause owners concern and worry.
This course will help the new puppy owner better manage the settling of their puppy, learn how to commence training to achieve appropriate behaviours.
The attendees will also learn about care, nutrition and the stages puppies go through from Puppyhood to Adolescence. The course is a must for new puppy owners and those who have forgotten what it is like to have a new puppy in their home.
We will cover everything you ever wanted to know from sleep to toilet training, how to manage children and the puppy at home, introducing your friend to the big wide world.
We will also cover theory about how puppies learn and what to look out for in respect of problems.
We will give the new dog owner confidence and knowledge to solve issues that present now and into the future!
