Our aim is to prevent behavioural problems occurring by offering a pre-vaccination chat with our veterinary nursing team, followed by attending the 4 week puppy training course we run.
A recent report shows 75% of dog owners would like to change their dogs behaviour and there’s no better time than starting whilst they’re young. To reduce behavioural problems in the future, it is important puppies under the age of 20 weeks experience meeting other puppies and people to become well socialised and used to new surroundings. Our 4 week course teaches good manners from a young age and uses positive training methods to deal with puppy behaviour.
This 4 week course is £52 and includes a puppy starter pack and information booklet. To book a place on this course, please contact our Markeaton Farm and Equine practice.
All puppy training sessions are currently held in our indoor riding school at our Markeaton Farm & Equine practice therefore, your puppy may get a little dirty. We do advise you to bring a towel with you to ensure your puppy is clean when travelling back home. Please note, puppies must be vaccinated to enrol on this course.
