My Puppy Courses

Please reach us at hello@mydog-atb.co.uk if you cannot find the information you need.

Once your dog has completed their vaccine course and is ready to explore the world they can join our main My Puppy course. You do not have to have completed the My Puppy Begin course first.  This course is 9 weeks of fun, informative, social sessions.  We are very careful with interactions between puppies, ensuring they all have positive experiences. We focus on learning skills that will help you and your puppy live in harmony.  We cover a range of information and behaviours. By the end of this course, you will be able to:


· Identify various body language from your puppy and others

· Know how to build confidence in your puppy

· Understand sensible and best practice socialisation

· Know how to manage stealing

· Understand consent and how to train with children

· Have a range of skills taught to increase focus/attention

· Have a range of skills taught to increase calmness

· Have taught your puppy foundation skills including drop, sit, down settle, wait and leave it

· Have started training loose lead walking and recall 

· Have a process for reducing over excitement in your puppy

· Stand and chat to a friend with a calm and engaged puppy

· Walk along with another person/dog with a calm and engaged puppy

· Understand how to manage family meals at the table

· Understand how to manage visitors at home


We train for 5 weeks learning all the foundations, then have a 1 week break and return for another 4 weeks putting it all into practice and proofing our training. Book early, this course has intakes roughly every 6 weeks. Maximum 6 puppies per session with 2 members of staff. Includes online version of the course with lifelong access. 


MOST SUITABLE FOR - puppies from their second vaccines to 16 weeks (roughly) at the start of the course.

Topics covered can include:

You might like to continue training with your dog after puppy courses.  Most puppies move into our 12 week Adolescent course, but we have other courses available too such as Keep Calm & Focus, Foundation, Loose Lead Walking, plus bespoke training and behaviour support for dogs who need it. 


Not everyone wants to, or every puppy needs to, carry on training.  We are always here for training and advice in the future.
