While puppy training classes come highly recommended as a means of helping a dog owner to correctly train their new pets, it must be remembered that such classes conducted by reputable dog training schools have a minimum age requirement, which makes it difficult if your new puppy is below that age.
There are two types of puppy training classes that could be beneficial to any dog owner, so let us examine what each does.
Puppy Socializing Training Classes.
An integral part of basic puppy training is teaching the puppy how to socialize with people and animals, especially its fellow kind. A puppy needs to be taught, as soon as it is physically feasible, how to accept and interact with humans of all ages and other dogs, also of all ages.
These classes are so constructed to teach the owner, and the dog, the basics in manners and what is acceptable behavior.
They cover a range of areas including barking, jumping, nipping chewing and biting, puppy care, puppy development and puppy fears. These classes are the equivalent to the kindergarten for human kids.
Puppy Obedience Training Classes.
These classes are split into three grades, the basic, the intermediate and the advanced. The basic classes are the only ones for puppies, the other two grades are for full grown dogs that have been trained in basic obedience.
The thrust of the basic classes are the pup’s obedience and response to the more basic single word commands like ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘come’, ‘heel’ and ‘stand’
Here the dog owner learns how to teach their puppies to focus its attention on the trainer, the master.. The dog learns how to pay complete attention to its human ‘master’ or ‘leader of the pack’.
The intermediate classes are more for the full grown dog, but well behaved home trained puppies of a certain age can get admitted.
They start with reinforcing what was taught in the basic classes, then move on to teaching obedience to commands on leashes, like loose leash heeling and directional turns.
The dogs are taught how to pay attention to, and obey strangers, to be well behaved when among other people, to accept petting by strangers, and to react with other dogs without getting distracted.
Here the dog learns how to respond to your commands calmly in a dignified and well behaved manner.
The advance classes are only for well behaved dogs that have been trained in basic and intermediate obedience. Dogs that are not well behaved and that have not been through any obedience training cannot be admitted into these classes.
Puppy obedience training classes are not completely confined to just the obedience to verbal commands or hand signals. The owners and there charges are exposed to the solving of a variety of common issues concerned with puppy anxiety, puppy health and care.
Most experienced and reputable dog training schools offer these puppy training classes, many of them specializing in training dogs for the purpose of competition. Attending these classes are a definite help in training any breed of dog, because the end result is having a well behaved and disciplined life companion.

Hi, For the intermediate classes my puppy would struggle as he doesn’t get on with other dogs, would this be a problem entirely? Do you think i could get round this by doing training at home. Hope you can help thanks!
