Puppy Classes

Who are our Puppy Training Classes for?

Our comprehensive, fun and friendly puppy training classes are suitable for pups who are aged 5 months and under. Classes run for 6 weeks and aim to provide your puppy with everything they need to have the best start in life.

Why Should I Take my Puppy to Training Classes?

Introducing your puppy to force-free, positive training from an early age, helps to set them up for success during their puppyhood and into their adult life. Early socialisation is key to helping your pup to develop into a well-adjusted adult dog who is ready to handle anything they may face in the world as they grow.

Whether you are a first-time puppy parent, or you have had multiple dogs over the years, your puppy will benefit hugely from attending puppy classes with an experienced dog trainer like Claire. The opportunity for safe socialisation and training around the distraction of other pups is invaluable for building your puppy’s social skills.
