When to Start Puppy Training | Dog Training in Kent

Starting your puppy’s training early is one of the best ways to ensure they grow into a well-mannered, confident, and obedient companion. At Canine Associated Services, we offer expert puppy training sessions in Kent tailored to help your young dog develop essential life skills.

When Should You Start Puppy Training?

We recommend starting our 1-2-1 puppy training sessions between 8 and 16 weeks of age, with the ideal time being as close to 8 weeks old as possible. Early socialisation, environmental exposure and training are critical to prevent behavioural issues later in life.

Puppy training begins the moment your new puppy comes home—and our structured puppy preschool programme will guide you every step of the way.

Requirements Before You Enrol

Before joining our puppy training classes, your dog must:

  • Be in good overall health
  • Have current vaccinations from a licensed vet (we require proof)

Once your puppy has passed the evaluation, we’ll recommend the most suitable training plan based on their age, development, and behaviour.

What You’ll Learn in Our Puppy In-Home Consultation

Our positive reinforcement training teaches both you and your puppy how to:

  • Communicate clearly and consistently
  • Address common puppy behaviours like nipping, jumping, and chewing
  • Establish house-training routines
  • Socialise safely with other dogs and people
  • Build trust, focus, and calmness from a young age

Our puppy training in Kent focuses on laying a strong behavioural foundation that will benefit you and your pet for life.

Dogs and the law

Dangerously uncontrolled dogs are a menace to other dogs, their owners and the general public.

You need to be aware of where you and your dog stand in terms of the law and how to comply with the regulations.

‘No’ means ‘no’

If your dog behaves like a jumping jack, runs off at any opportunity, and ignores all your commands, obedience training classes will make your life a whole lot easier – and enable you and your pet to have more fun together.

Choosing a breed

Before you make the big decision to buy a dog, there are a number of questions you should ask yourself and the other members of your family to make sure you get the right pet for your lifestyle and budget.
