Taking Your New Puppy to Obedience Training Classes

Once your new puppy has had all of his required vaccinations, check out whether there are any puppy obedience training. You can usually find a notice about these in your veterinary’s waiting room.

Most puppy owners at this stage are going through a number of issues regarding barking, chewing and other anti-social behaviour and so are not really keen on attending. They are afraid that their puppy will be the worst behaved in the group! The truth of the matter is that most puppies are going through the same stage and so the emphasis isn’t really so much on obedience at this age, but rather about getting your puppy to socialize well with other puppies as well as learn some basic training commands. It’s also about teaching you as his owner how to give those commands so that even the most mischievous of puppies will stop whatever he’s doing when you tell him to, and to come when called!

Apart from the basic instruction, your puppy will also become accustomed to the training environment and so when he’s a little older, will be more settled if you then choose to enrol him into a more advanced.
