Back-to-School for Dogs: How Autumn Training Sets Your Pup Up for Success

September is a month associated with fresh starts. Children head back to school, the summer crowds die down, and routines settle into a steadier rhythm. If you’re a dog owner in Surrey, autumn is the perfect season to focus on training.

 At Canine Kids, we specialise in helping dogs develop into dependable, well-behaved companions using kind, modern methods. With over 20 years’ experience, we know how to make progress fast.

Why Autumn Is the Ideal Season for Training

Like us, dogs often find it easier to concentrate in cooler weather. Consequently, it can be much easier to train your pooch in September and October, especially if you’ve welcomed a puppy into your household in August. 

It means you’ll have a well-behaved pet before the chaos of Christmas rolls around. That means less stress for you, and family and friends won’t feel hassled by an unruly puppy. 

Plenty of One-to-One Support

Learning always works best in smaller groups. That’s why our puppy and dog training classes in Camberley, Farnham, Godalming, Northcamp and Fleet are designed to lavish your canine with plenty of attention. 

Smaller classes mean we can adapt exercises to suit your dog’s personality and style of learning. This way, you will see real results, fast.

Our highly qualified trainer uses reward-based methods that build trust and strengthen your bond with your dog. No harsh corrections, no outdated techniques: just proven strategies that work for every breed and age.

Skills for a Rich, Full Life

In our classes, your dog will learn far more than ‘sit’ and ‘stay’.  We focus on the sort of skills that make everyday life easier, such as:

• Walking politely on the lead – no more pulling your arm off

• Settling calmly at home or in public

• Coming back when called, even around distractions

• Greeting people and other dogs with good manners

As the evenings get shorter, you want a dog that won’t disappear into the darkness. A well-trained dog is a safer, happier dog.
