The need for puppies to be socialised has been well documented. Introducing a puppy to new experiences at the right time has a huge impact on the learning and development. Put this together with proper owner education and you’re well on the way to a well-adjusted dog displaying socially acceptable behaviour.
A puppy party is an excellent source of information for owners seeking to prevent severe behaviour problems such as aggression and nervousness, as well as the more common issues such as feeding, exercise, stimulation, vaccinations, play biting, destructiveness, dealing with fear and house training. This course will help you set up a basic puppy party, and cover the social and behaviour issues facing today’s young dogs.
Course Content:
Delegates will consider:
• How to design a puppy training class
• How to set up puppy and owner achievement outcomes
• Developmental stages of the puppy
• Socialisation - what it is and how to achieve it
• Typical puppy problems - house training, chewing and puppy biting
• Setting behavioural ground rules
• Related equipment and pet food sales
Who is it for?
Veterinary nurses running (or intending to run) puppy parties will find this course of interest. It will provide you with the knowledge to advise new puppy owners on basic training and socialisation.
