The Puppy course at the Windhoek Dog club is for young dogs (10 days after the second vaccination until the age of 6 month) and every dog breed is welcome.
Our mission is to show the owners /handlers how to teach the young dogs in a fun and friendly way how to interact with other humans and other dogs in a positive environment.
Small groups with very motivated and experienced trainers will help you to get the best start for your interaction with your dog.
Registration is compulsory as the space is limited!
The focus lies on socializing and playing, motivation, trust-building and bonding between dog and owner, basics like sit, down, come, and walking on a loose leash.
The Puppy training starts with Supervised Socialization at 17h30 where the young dogs are mingling and learn to play not too rough with each other but also experience how other dog breeds are behaving. This is essentially important for encounters with other dogs and people later in life.
Many long-lasting friendships not only between dogs but also between people have been starting here!
Experienced trainers are available to ensure the playing is not getting out of control, to respond to your questions, and to assist with whatever comes up.
Basic obedience like sitting, down, and staying as well as walking on a loose leash and coming when called are taught. But also basic agility like walking through a tunnel or over a plank and fun games are part of the training.
Please register for the puppy course (no more than 10 puppies will be accepted in one course, only on the first and second Monday of each course, new dogs will be accepted) by clicking on the "Register Now" button.
If your puppy reaches the best age for socialization and there are still some weeks before the next course starts, please contact us at puppies @ windhoekdogclub.com and confirm if you and your puppy can join for the socialization part. When the training starts, you are welcome to follow the training from the clubhouse area, that means you do not participate but you can listen to the explanations and try it out with your puppy at home.
