Puppy class - Siddis Hundeskole

Our puppy class is suitable for puppies between 2 and 6 months old. The course «Everyday Obedience Level 1» is suitable for adult dogs and puppies (from 5-6 months) that are already well socialised, meaning that they play nicely with unfamiliar dogs, and therefore don’t need the «puppy playtime» part of the course.

The course starts with a three-hour theory session, which is currently being held as a webinar. The theory session is in Norwegian, with English subtitles available. During week 33 or 34, all participants will have one 45-minute one-on-one lesson with an instructor at the course site (you can book your lesson closer to start, link comes in email). Following this (from week 35 to 40) are 6 weekly classes with participants divided into groups. We have no more than 3-5 dogs per instructor.

Is the class for you or the puppy?

It is you, and not necessarily your puppy, who will be doing most of the learning during this course. Therefore, the person who will be training the puppy during the training sessions needs to watch the theory session-webinar. If you, for some reason, need a stand-in for one of the sessions, this person must also have watched the thory session and followed the class. The puppy’s training will not be complete after the course, but you will have a solid foundation for further training. The next level after the puppy class is «Everyday obedience part 2» .

Don’t want to wait for the next round of courses to start?

We offer home visits (privatundervisning) where we go through the most important things to get off to a good start with your puppy. Common subects are puppy chewing, house training, stopping unwanted behaviours, establishing boundaries, teaching your dog to be home alone, grooming and equipment, passing others on walks, polite greetings and recalls.

The training is tailored to suit each individual owner and puppy. Individual lessons prior to a puppyclass will often make the class even more useful.

Price: 800,- pr 60 minutes + driving costs (6,- pr km from Sola/Stavanger/Sandnes) We set aside 2 hours for the lesson, but we only use the amount of time necessary, and you only pay for the time we use.

Make sure to book your lesson well in advance, as there is often a waiting list for individual lessons.
