Our four week course run on Saturdays 10-11am (see Services/puppy preschool for dates). Classes will be held at The Dog Den Silverdale.

This course is designed to focus on the continuation of learning for pups aged 5-10 months old. During the ages of 5-10 months puppies mature and often it can be very useful to focus on a few key elements that are causing challenges. This makes puppy Level 1 training so important. Its also a great way to meet new puppy friends, and be exposed to environments.
