Puppy Foundations & Home Schooling

Give your pup the best start, at home or in class.

We offer small-group puppy classes for pups up to 22 weeks, teaching early essentials like recall, focus, and calm greetings. Prefer private support? Our Puppy Home Schooling packages bring expert guidance straight to your door (or screen) for a tailored start.

Workshops
 

Quick wins for big impact.

Focused, bite-sized sessions covering key topics like recall and loose-lead walking. Great as refreshers or if you want to dip into training without a full course commitment.

Fresh Start
 

For adolescent, adult & rescue dogs learning the basics.

Designed for dogs over 6 months who missed early training or need a reset. We’ll teach recall, lead skills, focus and calmness — all in a kind, no-pressure setting. Perfect for late bloomers, rescues, or teenage tearaways

Follow-On Classes
 

Build on what you’ve learned – and keep it fun.

These structured, progressive classes help you and your dog keep improving. With each level, you'll tackle new challenges and celebrate milestones with rosettes and rewards. Ideal after puppy or Fresh Start training.

Private Dog Training
 

Personalised support, at your pace.

Perfect for dogs with specific challenges, reactivity, or those who simply do better in a quieter, focused setting. We offer bespoke, reward-based training built around your dog’s needs and your goals — available in person or online.
