THE PUPPY SCHOOL
If you are reading this it is quite likely you are the owner of a puppy, so firstly, congratulations on your new companion! At Chelmsford & Margaretting Dog Training & Puppy School we know the joy and excitement this brings but know there can be a few challenges along the way!
​
We are delighted to meet new puppies and their owners at our friendly club and we love to help you on your journey together. Our moto is every step of the way “Encourage not discourage”.
​
Please read carefully below our requirements for class.
​
At the end of your puppy school you and your furry friend will be tested and receive a certificate and rosette! Don't worry you won't be put through your test until you're both ready.
​
We teach 'The Kennel Club Good Citizen Award Scheme' in all of our classes. ​​​​​​​​
Vaccinations
Please ensure your puppy is up to date with their vaccinations as without this it will prevent them from joining our training.
​
​You will need to bring your dog's proof of vaccination with you on your first day to be verified. Please note your puppy must be at least 14 days past vaccination.
Equipment
Flexi/extendable leads and harnesses are not appropriate for class conditions as they easily tangle around legs, human or canine and they may encourage your dog to pull.
Please ensure your dog is wearing an ordinary collar and lead. Choke and slip collars of any kind are not permitted in classes.
Food/Treats
Please do not feed your dog immediately before coming to class but do bring some food or treats that your dog particularly likes; tiny pieces of cheese or liver cake are usually popular.
All treats should be fairly small – no larger than a garden pea.
Have fun!
Emphasis is on your dog is learning through play and this course is designed to be fun for you too!
