Why attend: Puppy classes are important for helping your new family member develop into a well rounded, happy, easy and fun to live with companion. Puppies aren't born understanding our human world and our expectations, so it is our responsibility to help guide them as best we can. Through attending classes, puppies will be guided through basic training and socialisation exercises, providing any support you require along the way, that can be built on at home and throughout your dog's life.
​
The puppy training exercises gradually progress from easy to more complex, building on your puppy's understanding and reliability each week.
​
Reward based and fun training! We use primarily food rewards in classes (sometimes toys), please note that if you would prefer to use different training methods, these classes won't be suitable.
​
Small class size, usually up to 5 puppies.
​
Children over 5 welcome, please bring an accompanying adult to supervise while you work with your puppy.
