Puppy Course

Are you the proud parent of a new puppy or about to take on the responsibility? Then, congratulations on making the decision to give your new family member the best start by taking the step towards enrolling them on our "Life Skills for Puppies" course.

Puppies are a bundle of energy!  They're learning to be with their new family, building confidence and figuring out what life is all about.  Our course is all about training your puppy life skills through foundation cues and games focused on the importance of calmness, rest and early socialising.

• 3-week course with a Certified Puppy Trainer

  • • Week 1 & 2 are Group sessions held at Pets In The City, Wairau

    • Week 3 is a virtual session to provide enhanced guidance on life skills based on the previous weeks learnings, including a Q&A discussion.

Ahhh…Congratulations, you are now the proud parent of a new fur kid in your life!

You may have had a puppy before (but that was a few years ago); or you’ve never owned a dog before; or your kids have begged for a pup and have promised to help look after it. 

Along with welcoming a new pup, you are prepared for the occasional toileting accident to happen inside.  BUT wait, it’s only been a few days and you quickly realise this precious pup is the Energiser Bunny.  It keeps going and going and going and you’re not sure if it has an “Off” switch.  It is unsettled at night; it pees everywhere and the nipping with its sharp teeth is unbelievable.

No one told you it was going to be this challenging.  Is this the new norm?  How long will this last for?

Seeking advice before your pup arrives or has just arrived in your home is invaluable.  

At K9 FUNdamentals we help owners who want to know the ins and outs of what to expect with a pup in the house.  We help turn “We had no idea that it would be like this” into “Ah, I know how to cope with this”.  Our aim is to help you become a confident and relaxed fur kid parent that looks forward to years and years of a rewarding life together.
