Dog Training;  in Manchester, Cheshire and Tameside with Dawe's Paws
Puppy Socialisation
Socialising your pup from a young age is VITAL, but can be difficult to do before they have had all of their jabs, for a nominal fee of just £2 per class you can bring your pup along to any of my classes for as long as you wish, I advise that you don't put them on the floor until they are fully vaccinated, but they will at least be able to experience the sights sounds and excitement of meeting lots of other dogs in a safe environment. Give your pup the best start, just give me a call to let me know you are coming!


Puppy Class 

This course is available to any puppy under the age of 6 months upon the start of the course. All dogs must be fully vaccinated.

Loose Heelwork - This is where your dog walks by your side in a controlled manner e.g. no pulling by you or your dog, no excessive jumping. Bouncing is acceptable.

Sit – This is where your dog will sit at your left hand side on your command.

Down – This is where your dog will lie on the floor on command.

Puppy Recall – This is where you dog is on/off the lead and when you call comes to you. This can be done through a wait or by your puppy walking around the room.

Wait – In the puppy class this will be very short; 10 seconds. This is where your dog will sit/lie down and stay in the same position whilst you walk a few paces away.

Left and Right About Turns – This is a 180° turn when doing heel work in the direction stated.

Handling and Inspection – This is where you dog gets used to being touched etc by various people in a controlled manner – like going to the vets!

Identification – Making sure you have the correct ID in relation to the law.

Socialisation and Play – Getting them used to other dogs, people, noises etc.

Food manners – Taking food without snatching.

Leave – Taking toys etc away from your dog easily.

If we get time we will introduce some fun things like giving paw, speaking etc.
