Puppy School
An 8 week training programme
Hilltop’s Puppy School is an 8-week programme that:
– Sees your puppy attend Hilltop once a week without you, to take part in training and socialisation activities
– Trains your puppy in basic commands like recall, sit and stay
– Normalises your puppy being around a variety of other dogs, teaching them social skills like how to greet dogs and ‘polite play’
– Tackles separation anxiety, helping your puppy build confidence and resilience being outwith the family home
– Helps your puppy develop life skills e.g being a confident traveller, being trusting of caregivers, forging bonds and friendships with other puppies and dogs
Attendance Options:
Puppies enrol for either a half day or full day of Puppy School per week.
For puppies attending a half day owners drop-off & pick-up. Doggy bus is available for puppies attending a full day; picking up from Galashiels, Hawick, Selkirk, Melrose, St Boswells and all surrounding villages.
Rest & Reward:
As well as play, socialisation, training and fun, your puppy is properly rested at set intervals to prevent over exercise on developing joints and exhaustion. Your puppy will be fed a packed lunch in their own dedicated rest crate and observed at all times by our qualified team.
On completion of Hilltop Puppy School, your puppy will attend their own graduation ceremony, receive a keepsake school portrait and certificate celebrating the occasion!
