As per the previous post, what is taught in the class is as per schedule.

I try and always go to classes without a dog first to see if I like their style before handing over any hard earned dosh.

Good luck

As per the link above. Our pup is on week two and went tonight. We worked on food manners and recall. So a couple of things a week from the listed link plus some healwork and socialisation with other pups in the class. Also info sheets are given on what to work on for the following week. Really enjoying it.

Thanks all.

I had looked at the KC schedule, so knew what the curriculum was. Just wondered really what kind of atmosphere there is at these things, is there puppy play time, most of all , do you find it enjoyable ?( thanks for a yes on that megan57collies )

I'm a bit worried that in Wilmslow it's all going to be a bit competitive !!!!

1st class went quite well. Lots of nice people and lovely dogs, mainly Oodles, Doodles and Poos.

After about 10 minutes Kibo became a bit bold and TBH I'm surprised he wasn't given an Asbo.

Kibo fell asleep 3/4 of the way through and had to be woken up to do the last exercise

We got home at 9.30 and by 9.32 he was crashed out on his beanbag, we had to carry him out for his night time wee before putting him in his crate for the night.

Definitely looking forward to next weeks class just from the socialisation point of view.
