Puppy Classes

Classes are held at various venues in and around Wirksworth and Matlock, Derbyshire.

  • Check specific class dates for the venue.

  • Suitable for puppies that are under 5 months of age at the start of the course.

  • Fun, supportive and full of information to give you the skills and knowledge to sail through puppy parenthood and set you both up for success into adolescence.

  • Using reward based techniques including food and toys.

The focus is on building a strong bond between you and your puppy and on teaching your puppy the skills to have confidence and flourish in everyday life. My training is about preventing issues before they arise.

Classes will cover practical training basics such as sit, down, hand touch, appropriate play, give, polite greetings, recall, loose lead walking; and further topics such as how to prevent common puppy problems, safe and healthy puppy socialisation, how to prepare puppy for vet/groomer visits and plenty more!

Class sizes are small for plenty of individual help where required.
