Elsha_UK_AU Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I take both my dogs to Joondalup Dog Training which is in Ocean Reef on a Sunday at 9am. It is great! Very affordable. My 5.5month old just graduated puppy class last week and it about to start basic class :D Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks amypie! Were you after a puppy pre school (i.e. the 4 week classes for puppies from 8 - 12 weeks usually held at a vet?) If so I don't really have one I recommend sorry.

pomchi Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 yeah I am looking for puppy pre school, just to socialize her with other dogs in a safe environment and teach her a few commands. I have found a few but i thought it would be best to go with one that had some good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for both actually I'm planning to do either obedience or agility (not competitive, just for fun) after the pup has been through puppy classes. Doesn't hurt to research ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't hurt to research ahead I probably already told you but ACWA do run puppy agility classes on Tuesday nights at Canine grounds too, if you do go I'd love to meet your pup (I dare say Trixie would too - her breeder also has Airedales) http://www.agilityclubwa.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks so much fun! I've bookmarked it. It will be a while before I can join, as he is almost 3 weeks old now, but when the time comes I would be happy for my pup to meet you and Trixie.

pomchi Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 Just an update, took my 11 week old puppy to puppy kindy with the RSPCA and I can't recommend them enough the trainer brought her 8 year old dog with her to use for demonstrations, she answered all of the questions we had and how to deal with common problems. There were 8 puppies and they were all kept on loose leashes until she decided which puppies would be suitable to play off lead together in next weeks class. ( only two at a time). We are looking forward to next weeks training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pomchi Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 Just completed our second day at puppy kindy and it was great, the instructor showed us how to get them used to having their eyes, nails and teeth handled, how to drop. And then she set up a playpen where two suitable puppies got to play at a time, Link got placed with a small poodle and they got along great. the instructor was quick to step in if any of the dogs weren't getting along or showed signs off stress. After this session link slept for 5 hours We can't wait to go to the next session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
