Puppy Foundation Course
6 WEEK COURSE
The Puppy Foundation Course is suitable for pups up to the age of 20 weeks at their first session. The course is fully supported by training videos, advice and access to our Facebook Sit Happens Whānau Group, as well as our Puppy FAQs. After watching our Puppy Seminar, you and your pup will have an initial 45 minute session followed by three half hour sessions one to one with your trainer.
We work on basic life skills such as Sit, Down, Stand, Touch, Drop, Leave it, Recall, Lead Walking - all done in a fun and entertaining way through positive reinforcement.
Working in a one to one environment allows us to fully focus on your pup’s training and minimises distractions. With private training sessions your trainer will give you personal advice and tips that are specific to your puppy’s and your household’s situation which maximises your learning experience. In our Group Socialisation your pup can learn appropriate social skills in a fun and safe environment. One free session is included in this package for all suitable puppies, after which you can book additional sessions until our trainer graduates your pup.
PACKAGE INCLUDES
Puppy Seminar: Self-paced, to be completed before your first training session. 1hr 15 min on socialisation, toilet training, nipping, jumping, chewing, handling, quiet time and generally how to set your pup up for a successful start in life.

At your session your trainer will provide feedback in real-time, help troubleshoot and progress the exercises.

“We’ve loved our Puppy Course with Adele! Started the week after we brought our puppy home and he’s now almost 16 weeks and knows: sit, down, leave it, drop it and so many other crucial skills. We opted for the online sessions since we were starting over the holiday break; we found them effective and easier to fit into our busy schedules because we didn’t have to factor in drive time. Adele has been generous with her time, extremely encouraging through the puppy phase, and given us confidence as new pup parents! Cannot say enough good things. We’ve also gone to puppy socialisation classes with Sit Happens - another awesome experience that is put together with thoughtfulness and safety in mind. Highly recommend to anyone looking to invest in their dog’s growth..”
“We have just finished the 8 week puppy school (half in class, half online due to the lockdown). The classes and training techniques learnt have helped us so much in how to raise, train and understand our pup. Lisa and her team have such a wealth of knowledge and are super helpful with advising on the little issues that arise along the way. I highly recommend Sit Happens - it’s so worth the investment and results in a happy puppy and happy home!”
“Terrific experience with bringing Chilli along to the sessions. Loads of great tips that helped us set Chilli up. Thoroughly recommend Sit Happens for anyone with a new puppy. Nice people too.”
