About Our School
At Puppies in Balance, Blouberg we offer Puppy 1 and Puppy 2 training courses for puppies from 8 weeks to 8 months. Our training methods are based on positive reinforcement and clicker training.

All classes are kept small to ensure you get loads of personal attention.

Our aim for our handlers:

• To have fun with your dog while learning
• To have a happy, confident dog that lives harmoniously in the home with his family
• To help educate our handlers on the basics of dog behavior
• To help build a mutual respect and a strong bond between you and your dog

Apart from the socialization and habituation, you will start to learn some basic obedience as well as some fun behaviors like shake hands and negotiating basic obstacles.
Using our positive training techniques, you will learn to motivate your puppy and build his confidence
