Our Puppy Training Classes
There’s something exciting about getting a new puppy isn’t there? But if you want your little bundle of fur to become a well-behaved and well-adjusted dog it’s worth investing in puppy training classes.
Our puppy training classes are great fun for you and your dog and they’ll help you to develop a happy and rewarding relationship with your puppy.
Our puppy training classes include:
- Puppy socialisation classes
- One on one puppy training
- Puppy behaviour consultations
- Preparing for a new puppy
- Puppy’s first ‘off the lead’ walk
- Getting off to a good start with your new puppy
- Puppy training packages
Our puppy training classes cover three main topics: socialisation (other puppies, children and noises etc.), puppy problems (biting, mouthing, jumping up and house training), and good manners (sit, down, come, stay, stand, lead walking etc.).
And our highly experienced puppy trainers only use up-to-date methods of training – such as rewards based training – that are kind and fair to puppies and are proven to work.

Guidelines for Puppy Training Classes
We can accept puppies from their first vaccination, providing they are in good health and your vet gives your puppy the ok. Any puppy not fully vaccinated must be carried to and from the class. We also ask that you bring along your puppy’s vaccination certificate with you to class.
