PUPPY TRAINING

It is advisable to start training your puppy between the age of eight to ten weeks. This is the time that the puppy need to be guided and assisted in order to follow and act in good and acceptable behaviour in the human world.

The following factors form part in explaining why puppies at this age group have to be trained:

• The immune system is now strong enough after the inoculations to expose the puppy to socialize with other dogs.
• At this age the puppy’s brain is like a clean slate and we can now start writing instructions to it and begin to form positive behaviour.
• It is also an ideal time to educate the puppy’s owner on how to cope and rectify small problems that the puppy might experience.

The course duration are normally eight weeks and should at least include the following:

• Discussing different training collars and suitability
• The need of veterinary care including inoculations
• House training
• Correcting inappropriate behaviour
• Toys
• Discussions in respect neutering and spaying
• Discussions in respect Parasite Control
• Discussions in respect Oral Hygiene.
• Discussing the need to feed premium Dog Food
• Administrating medication
• Socialising the puppies through controlled play
• Exposing the Puppies to controlled stress.

• Guide and teach Owner to start training the Puppy to sit, down using positive reward
