Paws Academy Online Support – Puppy Preschool Week One - This is for participants who have attend their first puppy preschool session. Welcome to Week One of Puppy Preschool! This is the first of four sessions designed to build the foundations of lifelong learning and good behaviour. Each week is booked individually, and the supporting material is provided accordingly to ensure you have the right resources at the right time. What to Expect in Week One In this first session, we focus on the fundamentals that will shape your puppy’s early development, helping you both establish trust, confidence, and clear communication. By using positive reinforcement and engaging activities, we aim to create a solid foundation that will be built upon in the coming weeks. This week’s key topics include: ✅ Settling In – Understanding your puppy’s adjustment period and creating a calm home environment ✅ Name Recognition – Teaching your puppy to respond reliably to their name ✅ Introduction to Focus & Engagement – Helping your puppy learn to pay attention to you, even with distractions ✅ Basic Handling & Socialisation – Gently introducing your puppy to new experiences in a positive way Supporting Materials for Week One This collection of online resources has been designed to complement your face-to-face training sessions, reinforcing key lessons and guiding your practice at home. In addition to the core training exercises, you’ll also find bonus materials covering: • Creating a safe and positive home environment • Managing early challenges such as nipping and toilet training By using these resources alongside your weekly classes, you’ll ensure your puppy gets the best possible start.
