PUPPY LIFE SKILLS PROGRAMME

The first six months of a puppy’s life are key in ensuring they gain those vital life and social skills.

Our Life Skills School is dedicated to nurturing development and providing a safe and fun environment for puppies to prepare for the wider world.

What we Offer

With our expert, qualified, and experienced staff we have created a programme for puppies aged 12 weeks to six months.

With a structure that combines socialisation, breed specific enrichment and basic obedience training, we use positive reinforcement to teach your puppy appropriate dog-dog and dog-human interactions, basic obedience training (such as recall, down, and loose lead walking) and address any unwanted behaviours such as jumping up or nipping.  Also, if required, after the 6 week session we will carry the puppies through to our graduation process into our full day care service.  Each session will have no more than 5 puppies so that a full, personalised, programme can be offered to each and every one.

Sessions are 3 hours long, allowing a welcome meeting where your puppy will be introduced to their regular puppy friends and then engage in some activities that will engage their minds and bodies. 

We will always keep you updated on your puppy’s’ progress, as well as weekly pictures.  After each session you will receive a Report Card detailing the activities your puppy has undergone during the session and tips to help you continue with the training.

Graduation

Graduating is the biggest step your puppy will make outside of LifeSkills, so we make sure we set them up for success.

Slowing introducing adult dogs who are experienced with puppies will ensure they feel confident and ready to meet new friends. If a daycare place at TweedDogs is required, we will then transition the puppies out of LifeSkills across 1 or 2 weeks.

Costs

The LifeSkills 6 week programme will be held on Friday mornings between 9am and 12 noon and costs £150. (The two week transition into full daycare following the 6 week programme is £25 a day which would include home pickup and drop off).  Please note:  puppy owners would be required to drop off and collect their puppies from the TweedDogs Daycare Centre.

The First Programme starts on Sunday August 8^th, 2021 – to book a space for your puppy please contact us for an enrolment form or click below to download the pdf to print off at home.
