Puppy School -sutherlandshire For 8wk Lab?

[lisat]

Hi,

Have been reading alot on the forum and learnt heaps over the past few weeks but this is my first ever post.

I have an 8week old gorgeous Labrador and am looking for a good puppy school for him, does any one have any recommendations or good experiences?

I have just spoken to Hanrob and they seem to have a casual 30min class, but I thought something more (longer/detailed) would be best?

Any advice much appreciated. Am in Sydney the Sutherlandshire - Jannali/Como/Sutherland/Kirrawee area.

hi lisat,

welcome to DOL

30min to 1 hour is plenty for a puppy any longer and the pup will be totally worn out and gain nothing from the experience. I don't know what puppy schools are in your area but i have had dealing with hanrob many years ago and they were very good, maybe someone from your area will be able to better advise you.

Puppy school is more about socialisation than anything else and you will learn a lot yourself. When your pup is old enough you would be wise to do some obedience classes.

Good luck with your pup, come into the lab tread in breed sub forum and you can talk to other Lab owners.

Hi Lisat

I took my puppy to www.thecaninecollege.com.au . They have classes at Menai and was pleased with them. As for Hanrob (my opinion only) I would not give them the time of day.

I live in the St George area and the only puppy school I would take my pups to is here Camarna Puppy School. Hopefully if their next course starts at the rught time, I will be taking 2 of my babies there. It is a bit further to travel but is well wqorth it.
