Puppy Classes
Puppyhood is a crucial time — and getting the right support early can make all the difference.
Walkabout Hounds puppy classes are designed to help puppies up to 5 months old develop calm behaviour, confidence, and strong foundations for everyday life, while giving owners clear, practical guidance they can use at home.
In our puppy classes, we focus on real-life skills that help puppies grow into calm, well-mannered dogs, including:
• Loose lead walking
• Recall and engagement
• Sit, down, stay and focus
• Calm behaviour around people and dogs
• Settling and learning to relax
• Polite manners (including jumping and bowl manners)
