Frequently Asked Questions
Why bring your puppy to training classes? Capel Dog Training conducts the Kennel Club Good Citizens Puppy Foundation Award which provides a means of socialising puppies and laying down a foundation for education and training. Classes are fun & have a relaxed atmosphere. The puppies are all between 3 months old and 8 months old, there are no older dogs in the classes. I will teach you how to train your puppy, plus, you will get an information pack to help you with your training during the course. You will receive a certificate & rosette on completion of the course. You will receive help & support throughout the course. How old does my puppy need to be to attend classes? As long as your puppy has received his vaccinations and has been cleared by your veterinary surgeon to mix with other dogs, which is usually a week, or so, after his second vaccination, around 3 months old, he can begin puppy classes. What training methods will be used? We only use positive, reward-based methods, using food & toys to motivate puppies, any negative or punitive actions will not be allowed. What will my puppy learn at classes? How to sit, lie down & stand How to walk on a loose lead How to 'stay' when commanded Food manners How to meet people and dogs appropriately How to give up articles when required Come back when called And how to accept being handled at the vets or groomers How much are the courses?
