    Do you run puppy classes?
    Or maybe you are thinking about starting?
    Catch up with all the latest in this Instructors course, presented by Dr Jennifer Nesbitt-Hawes of Pet Perspective.

    We address scientifically sound and ethical methods of teaching puppy school, from setting up a class, to how to handle problem puppies. The course is the same as the Puppy Behaviour Essentials course, but builds on this with further lessons about setting up and teaching puppy classes. 

    THIS COURSE COVERS:

    Reading puppy body language:

    This is the most important thing you will teach in puppy classes! Find out why in this first chapter.

    Learn to interpret both obvious and more subtle body language and how to teach owners to do the same.

    Kids and dogs:

    How to deal with kids in the puppy class situation.

    Rules for owners to set up for kids and dogs at home.

    How to teach dogs to behave around kids and kids to behave around dogs.

    ​Socialisation:

    What is socialisation and how should we approach it?

    We’ll discuss the role of play in puppy class, as well as the important balance between providing enough stimulation and overwhelming pups.

    Appropriate training methods:

    Reinforcement vs punishment; the best way to train puppies, and how to get owners on board.

    What exercises should you teach in puppy school and how? Fun games to get people involved.

    Husbandry training for puppies: 

    Puppy handling and cooperative care. How to teach puppies to accept husbandry procedures like grooming, ear care and muzzling. 

    ​Puppy problems and problem puppies:

    Troubleshooting solutions for common puppy problems (biting, jumping up, stealing objects), how to toilet train puppies.

    How to recognise when the problem is more serious (e.g. anxiety or aggression) and what to do about it.

    ​Setting up your puppy class:

    We will cover the practicalities of how to set up the area and manage enrolments for a successful puppy class. How many puppies? What age should they be? How many sessions should each class be? What kind of class notes should you use?
