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.
Scentwork Sessions
Sniff, search, succeed.
Unleash your dog’s natural ability with fun scentwork classes designed to boost confidence and focus. A brilliant mental workout for all ages and breeds.
