Our
Super Pup trainers
are dedicated to making your puppy training experience a seriously worthwhile event,
so we set goals that we will help you achieve with your pup. These goals are
designed in such a manner that they can be generalised to cover almost every
eventuality in your puppy's life - we want to make you an excellent trainer of
your puppy so our Super Pup trainers teach you skills that you can apply.
The list below details the
goals we aim to achieve by the end of your course. It may seem to be a lot, but
puppies are smarter than you think! With a Super Pup trainer they learn
quickly, easily and with enjoyment.
We never push any puppy or
owner past their limits. If a problem is encountered our Super Pup trainers will take additional
steps to address the problem with kindness and understanding.
