Our fun, welcoming and friendly classes are suitable for puppies 5 months and under. Please see our reviews. If your dog is older than 5 months please see our adolescent course.

We have used Martin and Claire for four years now. Our dog Bertie has been going to them since he was a puppy. He has grown into a very confident, loveable dog who absolutely loves both of them and is so happy to spend the day with them.

He has become very sociable with other dogs and has also attended the scenting course with Claire. I also very much enjoyed the course as it was so rewarding seeing him scent. I feel very lucky to have found such lovely people which I trust to look after my Bertie
