Puppy Foundations (5weeks)
Bringing home a puppy is one of life’s most exciting adventures, but it can also feel overwhelming. With so much advice available, it can be difficult to know where to begin.Â
Â
Our Puppy Foundations Level 1 programme has been carefully designed to help you build a strong, trusting relationship with your puppy from the very beginning, using kind, reward-based training methods that are backed by modern behavioural science.Â
Â
This isn’t just about teaching your puppy to sit. It’s about giving you the knowledge, confidence and practical skills to raise a happy, confident companion that can cope with the real world.Â
Â
Our classes are based on the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) Easy Peasy Puppy programme. As a qualified and registered IMDT Easy Peasy Puppy Instructor, I continually expand my knowledge through ongoing professional development (CPD) to ensure you receive the most up-to-date, ethical and effective training methods.Â
Â
Alongside Flintshire Dog Training, I also proudly own and run Equipet Care, providing trustedÂ
pet care services throughout the local area.Â
