Your Guide to Getting a Puppy, which gives you my expert tips and advice on what you need to do and think about before your new family member arrives!
Group Classes
Classes are kept small, so that everyone gets the individual help and attention that they need.
It is important that this early learning is a positive, fun experience for your pup so we structure sessions around confidence and bonding exercises. Your puppy will be exposed to visual and sensory items for socialisation.
You will be equipped with the skills and knowledge you need to ensure your puppy grows into a confident, polite family and society member.
​
Support is available between classes, so once you're enrolled, help is always only a phone call or message away.
What you will learn:
-
Eye contact/focus
-
Settle

Reward hierarchy
