PUPPY PRE SCHOOL VS EARLY EDUCATION
Early education is more than obedience.
Dogs are not set and forget.
We are setting the foundations for a confident, social dog with a focus building a bond with their owner.
What we cover:
socialisation, enrichment & BUILDING CONFIDENCE
Dogs are naturally social creatures, CKC provides a safe and supervised environment where they can interact with other dogs. This helps in developing their social skills, reducing anxiety, and ensuring they become well-adjusted pets.
HANDLING
In our puppy early education classes, we place a strong emphasis on teaching proper handling techniques to ensure a positive experience for both puppies and their owners. Understanding the importance of appropriate handling is crucial, as improper techniques can lead to fear or anxiety in dogs.
We focus on desensitization methods, gradually introducing puppies to various stimuli such as touch, grooming tools, and handling during physical exams. This helps them build confidence and reduces the likelihood of defensive behaviors in the future.
Our classes also cover essential skills for conducting physical exams, teaching owners how to safely and gently assess their puppy’s body. By learning these techniques early on, you’ll empower your puppy to accept handling with ease, fostering a cooperative relationship that benefits both of you at the vet and during grooming sessions.
DIET
Learn the importance diet plays in the behaviour and health of your dog.
Appropriate diets can:
- improve physical health and energy levels

Overall, teaching recall is a fundamental aspect of responsible dog ownership, ensuring safety, enhancing the bond between you and your dog, and promoting a more enjoyable experience for both of you.
MANNERS, PREVENTING BAD HABITS AND GENETICS
Good manners, such as sitting politely, waiting patiently, and greeting people calmly, create a positive environment for both your puppy and those around them. Early intervention helps curb behaviors like jumping, barking excessively, or chewing on furniture, which can lead to frustration for you and stress for your puppy.
Investing time in teaching manners sets the foundation for lifelong good behavior, ensuring that your puppy grows into a well-adjusted adult dog who knows how to interact appropriately with both people and other pets. With the right guidance, you can transform potential challenges into opportunities for learning and connection, making your journey together a joyful experience!
