About the class
I focus on building a confident, happy puppy as well as building a strong bond between yourself and your pup. By gaining the necessary knowledge and skills through learning will prevent future problem behaviours.
The class runs for 1 hour, with about 40 minutes of training, developing problem solving skills and proprioception and the other 20 minutes will be for socialising with people and other pups in a safe and controlled environment.
Pet parents are welcome to discuss problems they are experiencing at home and there will be time put aside in the class to answer your questions. I am also available outside of class times to discuss issues if you don’t feel comfortable discussing it within the class environment.
What will you learn in this class:

Introduction to loose lead walking
Introduction to Recall

Introduction to Down
Introduction to Stay
Wait for food
Obstacles, body awareness and confidence
Dealing and advice on puppyhood – chewing, digging, house training, biting, etc.
Important information
- This class is for puppies under 4 months old in a group environment.
- Puppies that are 9-10 weeks old are welcome for their first socialisation class 2 weeks after their 1st vaccination. KC vaccination is mandatory (cards will be checked, this is for the safety for all my doggy students)
- Puppies must be in a normal flat collar or comfortable body harness and lead (NO check/control chains, prong collars, slip leads or shock collars will be allowed)
- Training is carried out with food lures and rewards and no physical or verbal punishment will be allowed nor any manhandling while in training.
Please do not wait until after your puppy has had all their vaccinations. From a socialisation point of view, it will be too late to start a puppy socialisation class.
All breeds are welcome.
