Starting life with a new puppy is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming at times.
Our 4-week Puppy Training Programme is designed to help you build strong foundations from the beginning, developing the skills, confidence and understanding needed to raise a happy, calm and well-mannered family dog.
Using positive reinforcement and science-led training methods, we focus on socialisation, confidence building and practical life skills that support your puppy both now and as they grow. For owners looking for additional support, we also offer personalised One-to-One Puppy Training sessions tailored to your puppy's individual needs.
With a maximum of five puppies per course and two experienced trainers present, every puppy receives personalised guidance in a calm, supportive environment.
