Welcome
to the South
Coast K9 Puppy Academy web site.
The primary aim of our classes is to help dog
owners to capitalise on their puppy’s natural
curiosity and help it develop good socialising
skills.
We introduce new situations, in a safe learning
environment, to prevent puppies from reacting
fearfully to noises, strange surfaces or
articles. This is done in a positive and non
threatening manner and will help them cope
better with the things life may throw at them.
From 7 to 16 weeks is most active learning phase
for dogs. This means they will learn faster,
generalise easier and enjoy the journey towards
becoming a happy confident dog.
Our aim is to help you build a strong bond and
develop good communication skills between you
and your dog. We will help you challenge and
stimulate your puppy, prevent inappropriate
behaviour and in the process learn how to be
creative with your training as well as meet and
mix with like-minded people.
Classes are small and are held in a safe
environment for both puppy and handler.
If there is sufficient interest an additional
course will be offered to participants who have
successfully completed the Puppy Socialising
classes. This will enable handlers to build on
the skills that have already learnt.
