PUPPY CLASSES

For puppies under 6 months
Start strong with gentle, practical training that builds confidence - for both of you. Our 3-stage puppy course is designed to support new dog parents through every step of early learning, from puppy biting, toilet training to calm socialisation, recall and lead walking.

For dogs aged 6–18 months
If your pup’s gone from cute to chaotic, you’re not alone. This class helps with the trickiest stage of dog parenting - adolescence. We’ll tackle recall, impulse control, lead walking, and focus so you can rebuild calm and connection without the stress.

  • We're really impressed with the content of the classes and Sian's knowledge, patience and ability to train us to train our 12 month old Labrador. Mabel really enjoys the classes as much as we do. She's making real progress.

    Shaun & Mabel

  • Thank you! We attended loose lead training as our dog pulled and pulled. We now have focus and walking on a loose lead more than I thought was possible. I am so grateful. Thank you Sian

    Louise & Rocco

  • Sian is very patient and explains everything clearly. She is always happy to answer additional questions and helped with individual issues we came across with our new puppy, Poppy.

    Kay & Poppy

  • Sian was very patient and acknowledged the difficulties of having a new baby and also trying to care for Willow. Sian taught us how to manage our Willow’s behaviour and taught us new ways to help her express how she was feeling too
