A Growing Personality

Getting a new puppy is normally very exciting and not a decision taken lightly. Amongst all the cuddles and photo opportunities, the first few months of a puppy’s life are critical. Alongside their genetics, their experiences during this time will determine a lot of the personality they will grow up to express. Like any newborn arriving into the home, alongside excitement comes added pressure, sleepless nights and some difficulty. It is essential that a new puppy knows first and foremost that it has arrived into a safe environment where they can trust their new family and don’t feel threatened in any way. This comfort allows them to be receptive to puppy training and learn what constitutes desirable behaviour.

If you took everything into consideration before making the choice to bring a puppy into your home, you will have prepared yourself for a period of disruption to your normal household routine. This is a good mindset to have as training your puppy does require extensive input to achieve successful results. However, the consequences of not investing this time are that this disruption continues for much longer and behavioural issues can start to arise that need more intervention in the future to rectify.

Laying the right Training Foundations

Over 60 years of experience working with puppies and dogs at Royvon, we have seen the huge effect that steps taken within a puppy’s first few months with you will lay the foundations for their behaviour, both positive and negative. During this period, they are constantly learning and adapting to know what is expected of them, even though they can’t get out and explore the world yet. Focusing on expert training at this stage is an excellent choice, making the most of your puppy’s inquisitive mind and constant learning.
This time is also crucial for owners too, investing the time in training and bonding with your puppy to build a positive relationship for a lifetime. However, this period is also the time when puppies aren’t fully vaccinated which limits the options for spending time with a trainer. Left without input, it’s too easy to fall into the wrong training behaviours with the best of intentions which can have long-term consequences in some cases. Working with an expert trainer, you can focus your energy on the important things and avoid getting stuck on one element on training.
Our New Puppy Training Masterclass has been designed for maximum beneficial intervention during this critical timeframe. Working with both puppy and owner, we help to realise your potential as a team, from the day your puppy joins your family. This comes with a lot of responsibility but thankfully it is also a huge amount of fun!

Professional Puppy Training Advice Customised to Your Needs

There is a huge amount of information available from different experts about puppy training and as a new owner it can feel overwhelming. So much of it is conflicting and generalised, not taking into account your puppy’s character, your circumstances or needs. This can lead to confusion and even arguments in families where there are disagreements about the best way to do something. We study the latest scientific research and use only modern puppy training techniques focused around positive reinforcement to give a clear pathway for success.
Royvon puppy obedience training is focused on the use of movement and play to capture your puppy’s interest and keep them looking to you for guidance as to what to do next. Training is enriching for a dog of any age and without suitable enrichment, it is likely dogs will develop behavioural problems ranging from pulling on the lead through to reactivity, aggression and separation anxiety.
This simple concept is the difference between a dog that recalls easily to their owner in a busy park and one that does its own thing. The more confidence you have that your dog is listening to your commands, no matter how exciting an environment might be, the more likely you are to feel comfortable bringing them along wherever you are going. Ultimately, that is what your dog wants too: to enjoy as much time with you as possible.
