PUPPY TRAINING
Our puppy program is designed for puppies from 8 weeks of age to 5 months. This program establishes good manners right from the start and helps lay a solid foundation for your puppy.
Start your puppy off on the right paw.The sooner you start training your puppy, the better. Puppies are very impressionable and start learning habits and behaviors, good or bad, the moment you bring them home. Having the right guidance and coaching takes you through this stage to make it full of fun and enjoyment without the frustration that comes along with raising a puppy. Our puppy program includes house breaking, crate training, proper socialization, manners (no barking, chewing, etc.) and puppy obedience (sit, lie down, walk on leash without pulling, and come). Preventing problems before they start and ensuring proper socialization for your puppy puts him or her off to a good start in life. We provide reliable training and work with you to help establish good habits and manners right from the start. Puppies who receive proper socialization and training early on are less likely to develop behavioral and aggression problems later in life. Our experience has been that adult dogs have the fastest, most functional training results if they were given a strong foundation as puppies. These dogs are also less likely to develop behavioral problems later on, as they have been properly socialized and housebroken. That's why Dog school Ireland offers 20% off our adult training to puppies who complete our Puppy Basics program.

Not all dogs are born with the right make up for personal protection. Unfortunately, many people learn this the hard way after wasting precious time and money trying to train a protection dog on their own.
Puppy Bite Training Foundations
With protection dogs, our goal is to develop a strong, consistent bite, and to bite out of controlled desire. That is, we want our dogs to enjoy doing protection work, but to understand that it’s only acceptable when we say so.
We achieve this by raising dogs with bulletproof obedience, great socialization, and highly controlled bite work. Your dog will be addicted to training. We make it fun and functional, and the puppy bite foundation stage lays the groundwork for excellent bite work in the future.
To develop a bite properly, it is essential to prevent bad habits from forming. Examples of bad habits are:
▪ Hesitation when being sent on a target
▪ Slowing before taking the bite
▪ Incorrect posture when preparing for the bite
▪ Biting with the front of the mouth instead of using the full power of the jaw
▪ Moving on a bite (allowing the mouth to slip)
The good bite habits we encourage can be counterintuitive to dogs, and their bite quality can be diminished without proper coaching. We take this part of the training very seriously, because although a puppy's bite isn't particularly strong, this stage will determine how well the dog bites in the future. With our systematic and deliberate foundation program, we produce adult dogs, eager to obey a bite command and put all their power into the job.
