A new puppy is an exhilarating experience filled with cuddles, playtime, and boundless love. Puppies are constantly learning, and that's where Puppy Primary comes in. This specialised training programme is designed for pups aged 12 weeks to 5 months who may have missed out on Puppy Kindy, providing essential skills and strategies to communicate effectively with your puppy.
Common Reasons for Skipping Puppy Training:
Before delving into the importance of Puppy Primary, let's address why some dog owners may hesitate to enrol their pups in training classes.
Misconception of Pup's Abilities:Â Some owners may believe that their young puppies are too young to learn or that training can wait until they're older. However, puppies are like sponges, eagerly soaking up knowledge from the moment they're born. Delaying training can result in missed opportunities for crucial socialisation and skill development.
Complacency After Puppy Kindy:Â Owners who have previously enrolled their puppies in Kindy classes may mistakenly believe that their furry friends are already perfectly trained. However, Puppy Kindy is just the beginning of a puppy's educational journey, and skipping Puppy Primary can lead to gaps in their training and development, especially as they explore and start to push boundaries.
Time Constraints and Busy Lifestyles:Â Balancing work, family, and other commitments can make it challenging for owners to prioritise puppy training. However, investing time in early training can save both time and frustration in the long run by preventing behavioural issues and strengthening the bond between owner and pup.
Perceived Lack of Need:Â Some owners may underestimate the importance of puppy training or believe that their pup's behaviour is already acceptable. However, early training is crucial for preventing behavioural problems and fostering a positive relationship between owner and pup.
