Puppy Foundation Course

All classes run over a six week course for dogs aged under 18 weeks at the start of the course. Pre booking is essential as places are limited to a maximum of 8 puppies at Kempshott and 6 or 7 puppies at Oakley.

This limit enables each puppy and handler to receive individual help with every exercise whilst ensuring an effective start to puppy socialisation.

The Puppy Foundation Course covers the folloing subjects and a certificate of attendance is awarded at the end of the 6 weeks.


· Responsibility and care
· Cleanliness and identification
· Attentive response to name
· Play
· Socialisation
· Handling and inspection
· Recall
· Sit/down/stand
· Lead walking
· Food manners



The environment is intended to be relaxed and non-competitive. Puppy training sessions are intended to be fun for you and your dog while the dog learns socialisation skills and you both have an opportunity to practice effective dog/human communication skills (which is often not as straight forward as we might think!). There is usually a lot of laughter as well as learning!!

The cost for this 6 week course is £70.
