???? 8-Week – Puppy + Intermediate Course
A complete training journey combining two stages:
Weeks 1–4: Puppy Foundation
- Covers all skills from the 4-week course above
Weeks 5–8: Intermediate Progression
- Advanced recall (including recalls from a wait)
- Rejoining the handler exercises
- Adolescence training and behaviour management
- Strengthening stay duration and reliability
- Additional focus and impulse-control work
???? The Intermediate Course begins after your Puppy Course is completed and normally starts between 1 and 4 weeks later, depending on the next Training date schedule. This ensures every group progresses smoothly into more advanced training.
To keep all puppy courses running in a consistent rhythm, the final 4 weeks of your Puppy Course will begin one hour later than your original start time. For example: If your first 4 weeks are booked at 10:30am, your final 4 weeks will begin at 11:30am.
This timing structure allows us to align each group with the next course intake and ensures every puppy receives the right progression, structure, and support throughout their training.
If you’re unsure which time your follow‑on intermediate sessions start, simply check your booking confirmation or get in touch , we’re always happy to help.
