New 6weeks course starting on: 6th January 2014 at Dartford Venue Every puppy needs to be taught good manners and have constructive lessons in basic control. This includes responding to its name, how to greet and behave politely around people and dogs, coming back when called, walking nicely on the lead, sit, down and stay on command, and allowing itself to be groomed and examined by you and your vet. As a dog owner you also need to learn what laws affect you and your dog. Top Dog Training School provides 6 week courses which operate in school or leisure centre halls (see below for venue addresses / days / times). We also like utilise the outside spaces (parks, woods, school play ground, pracrise walking on the lead in the streets) at our venues when ever possible (dependant on the weather). Each course runs for 6 sessions, with a test on the last week of the course to see how hard everybody has worked and to recognise your achievements. People often believe that their dogs only need to complete an initial Puppy 'socialization' course in order for their dog to be well trained, but this stage is just the beginning of a lifetime of training. Your dog WILL try you, push you and can make you very stressed but if you keep up the training and practice daily the skills and understanding of what you learned in class your relationship with your dog will be extremely rewarding.
