Course Instructor

Aimee has been a qualified Veterinary Nurse for 5 years and has over 10 years experience in the animal industry. She has always had a passion for animal behaviour and in 2017 after completing further training in puppy development, she set up her own puppy training courses. We have been incredibly lucky at Shelley Vets to secure Aimee to run our weekly puppy training, and we are sure both you and your pup will love getting to know her!

Course Content

Our classes work toward building a puppy's confidence and developing new environmental pictures which they will carry for the rest of their lives. Each course looks to develop puppies in the following areas:

• Exposure to surfaces
• Interactions with other puppies and people
• Understanding basic obedience (hand targeting, sit, drop, roll, stay)
• Mental enrichment activities

Of course, training a puppy relies on their owner. Our courses also focus on providing the necessary information to owners to develop their puppy and provide ongoing care. The course provides owners with information on the following areas:

• Health care
• Nutrition and feeding
• Training foundations
• Positive reinforcement training
• Teaching hand targeting, sit, drop, roll and stay
• Toilet training
• Mental enrichment
• Crate training
• Dog body language

Equipment

We require puppies to be wearing a flat collar or training harness and be on lead during training sessions except where instructed, typically during play time.

Participants

During training sessions, we encourage direct family members to attend and we welcome a diverse group of people for the benefit of the puppies. We ask that any children under the age of 13 be supervised by an accompanying adult and limit group sizes to 4 people per puppy due to the size of the training area.
