What your puppy learns

The building blocks, done properly

Our Puppy class is for puppies 6 months and under. It's all about the basics that make everything else easier.

Basic obedience

Sit, wait, settle and the everyday manners that make life with a puppy calmer and easier.

Early recall

The foundations of coming back to you, built early, while good habits form fastest.

Controlled socialisation

Positive experiences around other dogs and people, in a calm, supervised setting.

Lead & leash work

Gentle, confident walking on the lead, no pulling, no stress, just teamwork.

Confidence building

Helping your puppy feel safe and secure, which is the root of good behaviour later on.

Training the owner too

We coach you as much as your puppy, so you can keep the good work going at home.
