Recommendation for puppy training classes

[anelia]

Hi,

We have a new puppy, who is understandably causing some havoc in the house! So we need some extra tips to help train the little pup- can anyone recommend any puppy training classes becuase i fear 1-1 training will be just too pricey.

Thanks,

Anelia

Hey we have two small Chihuahuas and training while they are you is the most important aspect of their life. But what you will find is you can't train your dog you need to train yourself as they don't have the capacity to come into our world but we can understand theres. I was lucky enough to go to Ceaser Milan dog physicology centre in LA for 10 days and what i learnt in those 10 days change me as a person and my dogs are the most loyal well behaved dogs you will ever meet as they see me as pack leader. Of course we all can't just jump on a plane and travel around the world so i suggest go to pets at home or amazon and buy Ceaser Milans books I have read them and they will change the way you think about your dog BUT for the positive for the dog and the dog will lead a more balanced happy life because of it. I would be happy to come and see you and talk to you and guide you a bit if you would like

We went to Dulwich Dog School with Jane Ball who we found to be excellent - she also does 1 to 1 if you are struggling

I can recommened Rachel, she teaches classes at the neighbourhood vet, but we had a 1-2-1 session with her and she helped us make decisions on the best route to train, espcially crate training for seperation anxiety and nighttimes.

There is also a lady called Leoni st Clair who is recommended by the neighbourhood vet too. He number is somewhere on here if you search either Leoni or Leonie

Puppies are a nightmare! :P
