Positive, fun and effective

Positive, reward-based puppy training.

Give your puppy the best start with kind, reward-based training that builds confidence, good manners and a strong bond with you. The first months shape your puppy’s habits for life. Our classes focus on social skills, calm behaviour and simple routines that make everyday life easier - at home, on walks and around people and other dogs.

Short, fun exercises keep puppies engaged and set them up to love learning. You’ll leave each class with simple homework and clear guidance for practising at home.

Looking for puppy classes?

In our puppy training classes, you and your puppy will learn all the essentials for a happy, well-behaved life together. We’ll cover key skills like name response, sit, down, stay, leave, drop and polite greetings, along with early recall and loose-lead walking to build focus around distractions.

Your puppy will also learn to settle calmly on a mat, develop impulse control, and get comfortable with handling and grooming. Through gentle socialisation, we’ll introduce new sounds, surfaces and experiences to build confidence.

You’ll gain practical know-how too - understanding body language, timing rewards, managing visitors, and preventing common issues - so you can continue training successfully at home.

Not all puppy classes
are created equal.

Your dog deserves training that helps them flourish. Let’s begin the journey together.
Reward-Based, Positive Methods.
We only use positive, reward-based techniques that make learning fun and build your puppy’s trust and confidence from day one.
Qualified & Experienced Trainers.
Our trainers are fully qualified and experienced with all breeds and temperaments, guiding both you and your puppy through each stage with patience and clarity.
Small, Supportive Classes.
With limited numbers per class, every puppy gets individual attention. This creates a calm, supportive environment where each dog can learn at their own pace.
Real-Life Skills That Stick.
We teach practical skills that actually make life easier — from recall and calm greetings to handling, car travel and confidence around new experiences.
Support for Owners Too.
You’ll learn just as much as your puppy. Our classes include clear explanations, demonstrations, and take-home exercises to keep progress going at home.
Lasting Confidence.
By focusing on early socialisation and positive experiences, our training helps your puppy grow into a well-mannered, confident dog you’ll enjoy for years to come.
