Puppy Foundation - Wendover

Puppy Foundation/Basic

Our Puppy foundation/basic class is our entry level class for puppies 8 - 16 weeks old at start of class (If your puppy is over 16 weeks old, see our Puppy Intermediate Class). All classes unless otherwise stated, run for 6 sessions with 1 week's break after week 3. NOTE: Classes starting on Saturday 30th November will have a 2-Week Xmas Break on 21/12 & 28/12.
(Please note: The Vaccination infomation, Class information and the Specific location information tabs).

The socialisation period is critcially important for the behavioural health of our dogs and this class is designed to capitilise on what remains of this key develpomental period and provide the foundations of the core training skills. If your dog meets the age criteria for this class, then we highly recommend this as the best class to start your puppy's journey.

Our puppy classes centre around positive training for puppies and young dogs - with training both on and off-lead, which has remarkable results and is endorsed by the creator of puppy training, Dr. Ian Dunbar.
 
In our Puppy Foundation class your puppy will make new friends and develop self-confidence as puppy builds lifelong social skills. Watch your puppy demonstrate new behaviours and flourish in a stimulating environment while having a whole lot of fun!
 
Practical Training for Real Life
 
Because your puppy will spend much of its life on and off lead, we will over the classes teach you how to work with your puppy both ways: with a lead and without one. Our skillful and friendly trainers will show you how to train your puppy using positive training techniques that make learning fast, fun, and motivating… for all of you! Family members of all ages are always welcome in our classes.

• Basic Obedience – sit, down, stay, leave, come here.
• Play Skills - Understanding and managing puppy play
• Social Skills – with other puppies and with humans, build confidence in a variety of settings, with exercises to help prevent aggression

Early socialisation is incredibly important for puppies’ to stand the best chance of developing into a well-rounded dog and because this window of opportunity is very small, Puppy Stars are happy to take puppies 1 week after their first injection.

This may be contrary to what you have been told by your Vet. "However Veterinarians specialising in behaviour recommend that owners take advantage of every safe opportunity to expose young puppies to the great variety of stimuli that they will experience in their lives. Enrolling in puppy classes prior to three months of age can be an excellent means of improving training, strengthening the human-animal bond, and socialising puppies in an environment where risk of illness can be minimised." AVSAB
