Puppy Classes

Puppy School is a fun and safe environment for your puppy to learn, play, and socialise. It’s a wonderful opportunity for them to meet new friends of all shapes and sizes while building confidence.

Throughout the course, we educate you on the latest information in puppy health and wellbeing. Classes are also a great chance to discuss any questions or concerns you may have; our experienced trainer is always happy to help.

What do we cover?

A safe, supervised, and enjoyable space where puppies can build confidence.
Gentle introductions to new people, places, and everyday experiences
Essential skills such as sit, stay, wait, come, drop, and walking nicely on a loose lead.
Helpful guidance for common puppy challenges, including barking, biting, digging, and chewing.
Positive experiences that help puppies feel calm and comfortable when visiting the vet.
Friendly, supervised play with puppies of all breeds and sizes, because every pup learns in their own way.
