Our premium puppy classes offer the ultimate experience for you and your pup!

Welcome to our Puppy Pre-school Classes, where the journey of a lifetime begins for both you and your furry friend! Designed for puppies aged 12 weeks to 6 months, our classes offer a vibrant, engaging environment that sets the stage for fun, learning, and socialisation. We believe that the foundation you build with your puppy during these formative weeks is crucial for their future behaviour and happiness.

Socialisation Opportunities

Socialisation is a critical component of our classes, and we take it seriously! It’s about your puppy understanding how to behave in the presence of other dogs first before being allowed unlimited acces to them. We pride ourselves on teaching good manners and social skills unlike alot of classes where it is just a complete free for all, with off lead play being the main focus. This just teaches a puppy all the wrong behaviours .

Community and Support

When you enroll in our Premium Puppy Classes, you’re not just joining a training program; you’re becoming part of a community! Our classes foster a supportive network of puppy parents, providing you with the opportunity to share experiences, tips, and advice. You have unlimited acces to our FREE online training academy and after each class there is a weekly recap that includes useful videos to watch over & over, so you cannot fail!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

What is the Puppy Pre-School Course?

It’s a completely online course designed to take you step-by-step through the entire first year of training your puppy.

It consists of 65 high-quality video modules that include practical demonstrations of all the key skills you will need, as well as the theory behind everything we do.

It teaches you exactly what to do, when to do it, and most importantly, WHY you should do it.

Because that’s the secret to becoming a high-level canine leader who can handle anything. Every single puppy is different, and every owner is different, so your experience may not look exactly the same as when Will does something or even another owner. You need to understand WHY you are doing what you’re doing so you can adapt and adjust as you go.

Our Reviews

Welcoming and knowledgeable, and the trainers use techniques that work wonders. My puppy, has made great progress in a short time. The supportive environment and personalized advice make this school stand out. Highly recommend for anyone looking to train their furry friend!

Kenny Hallett

Paul and Joe are dedicated to their puppy training and make it enjoyable for the dogs and the owners and both learn so much on the course. Their dedication and absolute understanding of dogs is amazing and I can’t recommend them enough. If I could, I would give them ten stars. Excellent all round.

John W English

Paul is very knowledgeable and helpful when we are participating in 1-2-1 classes aswell as puppy group classes. Gained so much confidence with our puppy in the best way! Would recommend to anyone looking for guidance and reassurance! 🐶 …

Puppy Training FAQ

Why are your classes £35 when other companies run them for £20/£25?

This is because we limit the number of puppies in the class, so that training is done correctly. If there’s too many puppies in one class it’s just far too distracting and too stressful for you as owners. We do not have puppies off lead just running around having a complete free for all. Many puppy classes solely focus on the numbers, claiming this is good socialistion. Its not!! They are solely based on numbers to try and make more money. Puppies need to learn how to behave correctly in the presence of other dogs first, before being allowed of lead.

What age does my puppy have to be to attend classes?

Providing your puppy has had its first vaccination then it is eligible to attend classes. The classes are for puppies aged 12 weeks – 24 weeks of age(6 months).

Does my dog have to be fully vaccinated to attend classes?

You puppy is welcome to come to puppy classes as long as they have had their first vaccination. This is in line with the WSAVA(World Small Animal Veterinary Association) recommendation. As the risk of exposure to disease in puppy class is very low and puppy socialisation is extremely important to prevent fear and/or aggression in later life.

What will my puppy learn in classes?

Classes include general obedience, sit, down, stay, lead walking & lead handling, settling down exercises, trick training, controlled socialistion with other dogs, intro to recall and much much more.
