Set your puppy up for success—positively!

Recall, sit, drop, stay & more

We’re here to help you fit your puppy into your life—not the other way around!
Rolling Entry Puppy Classes
Start any time—no need to wait!
Our rolling entry format means you can begin as soon as your puppy comes home, as long as you book 4 consecutive weeks. This ensures your pup doesn’t miss their critical socialisation window (3–15 weeks old).
✅ For puppies under 16 weeks
🐶 Older than 16 weeks? Check out our Too Old for Puppy School class!
You’ll do the theory online prior to class, then join us in person for four hands-on, fun-filled 4 weeks.
Before You Book:
Puppies must be 8–16 weeks old at the start of the course.
Your pup must have had their first vaccination, and we’ll need a copy of the certificate.
The date you choose is your official course start date—please note, we don’t offer make-up sessions.
Trouble paying through the booking system? Call me and I’ll help you out.
