Life Skills for Puppies
Building a Bond that will last a Lifetime
Our online Life Skills for Puppies course will provide both you and your puppy with all the knowledge and skills you need to thrive in your day to day lives together.
In our life skills classes we have planned a series of progressive exercises that build the skills that our puppies need to live happily and comfortably within our homes. We provide you with all the knowledge and practical expertise you need to have a long and happy life together. This is a 6 week course, with each week divided up into 5 daily exercises. You can choose to watch one tutorial a day, or work through it at your own pace - whatever suits you!
There is also online support available, in the form of our 'Puppy Plus Community' facebook group that you can join to ask questions, post recordings of your training if that is something that would be useful for you. We have over 300 members, and all enjoy the support and friendship that the group provides.
This course is the perfect accompaniment to our Puppy Essentials online course. Together, these courses enable you to balance your puppy's emotional wellbeing with the teaching and learning of useful behaviours. We teach you, as your puppies guardian, how to understand your puppy and meet both their physical and emotional needs.
This leads to a relationship that holds less frustration, and more patience and care - for the both of you.
