Senior Puppy

Ocean Paws Senior Puppy Program

Packages

Our Senior Puppy Program is designed for puppies aged 15 to 24 weeks and consists of five practical lessons.


This program emphasizes positive reward-based training methods and aligns with how dogs learn to create an engaging, interactive learning environment for both you and your pup. This ensures you are well-prepared to build a happy, rewarding life together.


The Senior Puppy Program aims to instill good puppy manners such as sitting calmly for guests, staying for a short duration, the beginnings of loose lead walking, and recall (coming back to you when called). We also cover preparing your senior pup for adolescence, on-lead manners, mat training, gentle handling and restraint, emergency collar holds, target training, and interpreting your dog's body language.


Throughout the course, we provide a senior puppy manual containing the educational topics we cover, as well as the training steps for all the behaviors you will learn, to keep both you and your pup on track.

Our Senior Puppy Program also covers a range of educational topics that are essential for your pups well being and provides you as their guardians, with the tools to successfully guide your pup through their lives. These are:

 

  • Positive reinforcement and the importance of this in training
  • Learning theory – How our dogs learn
  • Understanding and managing normal behaviour for this age group
  • The importance of enrichment
  • Generalising behaviours – Why our dogs struggle with this

 

 

  • Body language and how to recognise stress in our dogs
  • Toilet training
  • Nipping and biting
  • Appropriate play
  • The importance of positive safe, socialisation for your pups

 

At Ocean Paws Dog Training, we recognize that puppies participating in our programs may be at different stages of learning. Therefore, we tailor each program to meet our clients' individual needs. If there is a specific topic you would like us to address during the program, please let us know when booking or during class, and we will make sure to include it.
