The course covers all the basics, sit, down, stand, leadwork, recall, care and responsibilities of dog ownership. toilet training and common behavioural problems.

THE PUPPY FOUNDATION COURSE which also runs for 5 weeks is suitable for puppies from 14 weeks of age but less than 1 year of age by the end of the course and assumes some experience of previous training, e.g. attendance on the Puppy Starter Course.
