Puppy pre-school classes (8 weeks and up)

Offering early support prior to vaccinations

It's such an exciting time bringing home a new member of the family - by choosing our puppy pre school you'll get an essential head start on training and get support for all the challenges that face you when you first get your puppy, whether you have had dogs before or not.

It has been shown that learning in the first 12 weeks of life reaps the biggest rewards for the smallest of input. So don’t miss this opportunity to find out what’s important to do now before you can attend our in person classes and how to do it safely.

Our puppy pre-school classes are for young pre vaccinated puppies 8-12 weeks.

Classes include a whatsapp social group for the length of the course where our behaviourist Jo is on hand to answer questions and give support on the course content.

Each week we spend 45 minutes of our hour learning basic skills as well as games to enjoy and tire your puppy. Jo will teach you the golden triangle of success for a well mannered happy pup and there will be top tips for creating a harmonious household and much much more!

To finish we have 15 minutes for Q and A every week to provide bespoke advice for you individual journeys.

The virtual course lasts for 4 weeks and takes place online so your puppy does not need to be vaccinated. There is an optional 5th week for a social walk / live in-person training session open to those living within driving distance of Shoreham-by-sea.

The course is £50.00 or £70.00 with the optional social training walk at the end of the course.

POA

As our four legged friends get older, they slow down and have less mobility, their joints can become inflamed and painful. A young dog may have overextended and sustained an injury through running/jumping. Soft tissue neck and back pain can be found to exacerbate anxiety/reactivity in dogs. WEBB encourages healthy movement of not only the body’s structure but healthy movement of the energy as well.

Whole Energy Body Balance is a healing somatic bodywork method that can help in all of these conditions; easing acute/chronic pain, trauma, regulate the nervous system and balance the energy system, creating better connection/communication for a healthier, happier pet. WEBB can be used in conjunction with Reiki, another healing modality that also works on improving the flow of energy around the body. It aids relaxation, reduces stress and promotes healing.

Both methods have been transformational with not only Nicola’s own dogs but also for her client’s pets.
