The critical period for canine socialisation occurs in the first 16 weeks of a dog’s life. At Sunny Chong Day Training we are dedicated in enriching this important socialisation phase by helping puppies to play nicely with each other, but also with older dogs of all shapes and size. We can also provide mid day feeds, sleep breaks, problem solving and confidence building exercises during their day school with us.

Our standard activities include:
1) Swimming
2) Treadmil Walk
3) Pack Walk/Pack Socilisation
4) Imprinting Obedience Commands

Canine learning, social and behavioural development is an ongoing process throughout your dog’s life, but the formative months really set the foundation for future confidence and good behaviour. The Day Training environment exposes puppies to many different sights, sounds, and situations that just can’t be duplicated anywhere else. For Sunny Chong trained puppies we can expose them to more situations and do a lot more problem solving because of the extra language gained through attending weekly classes.

The pups that attend Day Training mature into well socialised dogs that are comfortable playing in non-day care situations. We have received much feedback from our puppy owners that their now adolescent dogs are so easy to manage in common, day to day situations. This is because from a very young age and the pups have learned to listen to the varying tones of praise whilst running and playing with other dogs. This equates to listening under distraction.

As with all Sunny Chong-trained dogs attending Day Training, we put a lot of thought into their continued behavioural improvement, we don’t just leave them to their own devices, we teach them and guide them. Puppies benefit so much from this guidance and we love to watch them mature into friendly, playful dogs.

As you know Sunny Chong teaches obedience training under distraction, particularly around other dogs when the opportunity arises. At DayTraining we have dogs of all shapes, size, and energy levels, running and playing in all directions. Practicing obedience and pack walk in these conditions teaches your dogs to listen and follow direction despite what is going on around them.

Manners such as control at gates, not jumping-up unless invited and any other random, pushy behaviours are all shaped during your dog’s time at DayTraining. The pups and dogs receive a lot of positive reinforcement for their individual efforts as their behaviour improves. It’s wonderful to see the positive change taking place after each session and the pups and dogs are so much happier and easier to manage in such a bustling environment.
