💜 Our Training Approach

  • We believe in fun, reward-based learning — because it works.
    Our aim is to help your puppy learn how to thrive in our world while still enjoying life as a dog.
    We never use or condone intimidation or punishment.

  • Your commitment matters — attending each class, using your online resources and practising daily will help you and your dog make amazing progress together. 

🕒 Class details

  • Each class lasts around one hour, indoors (with some outdoor work when weather allows).

  • All family members are welcome.

  • Please arrive 5 minutes early to help your puppy settle.

  • Keep your dog on lead at all times, unless a trainer advises otherwise.

  • Please respect space around other dogs and handlers, especially when entering and leaving.

🎒 What to bring each week

  • Part of your dog’s usual meal (serve the rest at home as normal).

  • Several types of food rewards (for example, tiny pieces of cooked meat, cheese, or cubed JR Pate).

  • A treat pouch that clips to your waist or fits easily in your pocket.

  • Your puppy’s favourite toy (no squeakers please and balls should have a handle).

  • An edible chew or food-filled toy (for example, a Kong™).

  • A dog towel.

  • Water and bowl.

  • Your dog!  Wearing:
