How To Enrol

Why Is It Free?

Beacon’s Puppy Pre-School is 100% free with absolutely no hidden catches or obligations. After your course is finished you are welcome to continue on to our Puppy School program or go on your way with no strings attached.

We believe that once you’ve experienced the high level of knowledge, support and passion that Beacon Dog Training provides, you’ll choose to continue your puppy’s training with us.

This course is also designed to encourage owners to start their puppy’s education as early as possible. Too many owners wait until after their dog has received all their vaccinations to start classes, which can lead to them developing behavioural problems resulting from missing a crucial developmental phase that closes at around 12 weeks. Because we are very strict about ensuring every dog on our grounds is healthy and fully vaccinated, puppies can start classes with us after just one vaccination.

If you are unsure about starting before your puppy has received all of their shots, we recommend taking a look at the article below by the internationally renowned organisation AVSAB (American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior). The article explains why starting as young as possible is so important, and addresses the issue of socialisation versus disease prevention. If you’re still unsure you are of course welcome to attend the sessions without your puppy.
