WELCOME TO BRAW PUPPY
Important notice regarding the COVID-19 pandemic
Due to rules from the Scottish Government on social distancing and recommendations from the CDC and the WHO, I will not be running any face to face classes nor any 1-2-1 training or behaviour consultations. This includes both Puppy School classes and any Braw Puppy activity. As we have no idea when the restriction of movements will be lifted, I cannot say when I will be up and running again but when I am, I will be happy to start up classes and consultations once more.
Some Puppy School tutors are running small and excellent interactive-virtual classes which are perfect for you to train your puppy at home. Here is a nice wee video for you to look at:
If you are interested in getting your puppy off to a good start, you can contact Eleanor McCall who is providing virtual classes here in Scotland at puppyschoolfalkirk@outlook.com or go to her website www.thepuppyclub.co.uk
If you want further information about Puppy School virtual classes throughout the UK go to www.puppyschool.co.uk to find out more.

Socialising puppies is going to be difficult, especially since many vets are not doing vaccinations during the pandemic.
If your puppy hasn't been vaccinated please do not be tempted to let your puppy interact with other dogs or people outside your family because your puppy might get puppy illnesses and of course we are all supposed to be social distancing. If your puppy is small enough you can carry it around to get used to new smells, sites and noises which will help. Here is something from PDSA on the subject:

There is also lots online about entertaining dogs at home so check that out! Just search for environmental enrichment or brain games for dogs.
