Puppy Foundation Coaching

These sessions are aimed at very young puppies of between 9 and 20 weeks.

There is much discussion about the benefits of early life experience versus the necessity of waiting for full inoculation protection; this is a choice each individual owner must make including advice from their vet, the puppy’s breeder and the characteristics of each breed and each individual puppy. There is no doubt that the first sixteen weeks or so are when puppies’ brains are most receptive to new experiences, laying down future patterns of behaviour and attitude to the world and their place in it.

Paws in Wales is private property, so does not have public footfall of dogs and people. Pre-vaccination puppies are therefore welcome to attend at their owner’s sole discretion. Handouts are given on registration explaining all the exercises covered in sessions, plus many others that will make your training sessions fun and relevant to life with a growing puppy.

There will be ample time to discuss puppy biting, toilet training, appropriate play and exercise, neutering and all the other questions you have.

These one-to-one sessions will teach you and your pup the basic skills to start them on the path to becoming confident, happy and well-mannered dogs.

The sessions will cover:

  • Puppy Confidence
  • Name recognition
  • ‘Checking in’ or eye contact
  • Sit and/or down
  • Settle – bed or crate
  • Walking on a loose lead
