Puppy Training & Junior Dog Academy Classes

“I am striving to create the best Puppy Training experience out there, with advice and training offered beyond the puppy classes themselves.

As well as top-level training, I aim to provide both behaviour and training advice to you, both at the classes in person and straight to your inbox in the form of Free Training Guides.

For continued support and training, I also offer Training Classes and Home Visits for after the Puppy Stage, so you can have all your training needs covered in one place, and with a trainer that you will know and trust.”

Our training methods:

• Families welcome to the outdoor classes. *Indoor classes have limited spacing so please consider how many people need to come along.
• Children are not recommended at Dog Behaviour Class sessions. 
• Increasing the owner’s understanding of their dog.
• Positive training methods with sensible corrections if needed – a common sense approach.
• No harsh methods or shouting
• Information on rewarding your dog; the do’s and do not’s
• Advice on games to increase mental stimulation and avoid boredom
• Short exercises changing frequently to avoid boredom and increase memory
• Puppy Foundation Class Sessions incorporate short exercises changing frequently and repeated each week to enable owner and dog to learn the exercises and advance them at their own pace. This is a proven method over decades and you advance the training with the level of your dog.
• Junior Dog Academy Sessions will focus on further advancing any training elements already learned by your dog, and also incorporate new training that is required once your dog hits a certain age. 
• Booking for all classes is flexible, so you can miss a session and just do it another week without losing out or affecting your dogs training adversely.

Our trainers have a wide range of breed knowledge and welcome all breeds large and small into the classes.

You will be trained by a fully qualified Advanced Professional Dog Training Instructor with the CIDBT and Master Professional Dog Training Instructor with the Guild of Dog Trainers.

Please note the age ranges on the classes.

Strictly no reactive or aggressive dogs in either the Puppy Foundation or Junior Dog Academy classes. If your dog is reactive (barking, even if through excitement and won’t calm down, you will need some Behaviour Training – please get in touch).

You will be trained by a fully qualified Advanced Professional Dog Training Instructor with the Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour & Training (CIDBT) and Master Professional Dog Training Instructor with the Guild of Dog Trainers (GoDT).
