Using reward based and up to date training methods, you will learn how to teach your pup basic manners in a fun and rewarding way. Each week you will be talked through the exercises one at a time and given the chance to practice live during the session. Then feedback can be given as you go.

There will also be a Q&A at the end for you to ask any questions you may have.

These sessions work really, well as pups can begin their training in a place of least distraction, allowing you to keep your pups full attention.

Do you have questions?

Often owners only find out information after they have their puppy and by then it may be too late. My aim is to assist owners before they make the decision, to help them begin on the right paw. 🐾

Find out what to consider prior to getting your pup. Be prepared, so you & pup get the best start on your training journey.

Please note you will need to download Zoom to attend. This is a free app. (Also don’t worry if you’re camera shy, you can always watch with your camera off if you prefer 😉). Do you have questions?

Puppy Training Classes

We believe that it is so important for puppies to be given the best start in life. Positive experiences, the right training and suitable skills which will enable them to fit into the human world are key, so your pup can grow into a happy and contented adult.

At Talk to the Hound we provided super group puppy classes which are suitable for the whole family to come and join in with.

(Please note due to Current covid 19 restrictions group outdoor classes are currently postponed and have moved online. Please contact me to find out more)

If however, you feel that you would prefer some more individual attention then we can provide a 1:2:1 home based puppy course as an alternative.

So whether it is in our group session or on a 1:2:1 basis you and your pup will enjoy relaxed, fun training sessions which will deliver positive results.

Group Puppy Training – 6 Week Courses

Our 6-week group puppy training courses are designed to give you the tools to teach your puppy to grown into a well-mannered integrated part of the family.

They are suited for puppies who have had their 2nd vaccination and up to 20 weeks at start date. Pups need to have received both vaccinations for the outdoor course. Vaccination cards will be need to be seen before lessons begin. If your pup is older than this then please give me call and we can see how else we can help.

Your pup will be introduced to walking nicely on a lead, gain an introduction to recall, learn some impulse control and learn basic manners such as sit, stay, leave it. In addition, you will learn methods for toilet training, puppy biting, not jumping up and much more.

Your pups will be on lead for the session unless advised otherwise by a trainer. We do not tend to provide free play with the pups during lessons as have not found this to always to be successful. It all depends on the sizes and temperaments of the pups in each group and can do more harm to pups if they are of a timid nature. We will assess each class and if appropriate decide during the session.

We only use force free, reward-based training as we believe training should be fun for all involved. This means you will need plenty of small tasty treats to help along the way, a few favourite toys and plenty of praise.

The group courses are between 45 mins and 1 hour long (depending on the course). Sessions will include many practical exercises, however there will be some discussions involved for you gain that extra knowledge to help you along the way.

Children are welcome to attend the courses as we love for the whole family to be involved, however for safety we ask that there is no running and parents are responsible for supervision at all times. (Please note due to Covid 19 there are currently restrictions on the number of people who can attend with pup, therefore children may not be able to attend at this time. Please contact me to find out the current numbers).

You will receive a welcome pack on arrival and we provide phone and email assistance for the duration of the course.

The one important note is that you will need to practice regularly with the methods taught in class. We can give you the tools to take away, however to achieve the best results your pup will require consistent and regular training sessions.

6-week outdoor course costs £99 (6 x 1 hr sessions).
