Puppy School
Little puppies, big adventures! 🐾
Bringing home a new puppy is full of excitement, cuddles, sharp little teeth and the occasional puddle on the floor!
There's so much for your puppy to discover, and Puppy School is the perfect place to start.
Our classes are designed to help you navigate those early weeks with practical advice, hands-on activities and plenty of opportunities to learn together.
We'll explore important puppy skills such as responding to their name, coming when called, settling, polite greetings and learning how to make good choices.
We'll also talk about those everyday puppy challenges, including biting, chewing, toilet training and helping your puppy feel comfortable with new experiences.
Most importantly, you'll leave with skills and ideas you can continue practising at home, because learning doesn't stop when Puppy School finishes!
What Will My Puppy Learn?
🐾 Name Recognition & Attention – Helping your puppy learn their name, focus on you and respond when you need their attention, even with distractions around.
🐾 Coming When Called – Building the foundations of a reliable recall through fun games and positive experiences, so your puppy learns that coming back to you is rewarding.
🐾 Sit, Settle & Everyday Manners – Teaching useful everyday skills, including sitting politely, relaxing calmly and making good choices at home and out in the world.
🐾 Polite Greetings & Calm Interactions – Helping your puppy learn how to greet people appropriately, manage their excitement and develop positive interactions with other dogs.
🐾 Puppy Biting & Chewing – Understanding why puppies use their mouths and learning practical ways to manage those sharp little teeth while encouraging appropriate chewing habits.
🐾 Toilet Training & Home Routines – Establishing consistent routines to help your puppy learn where to toilet, settle into family life and develop good habits from the beginning.
🐾 Socialisation & Building Confidence – Introducing your puppy to new sights, sounds, people and experiences in a safe, positive way, helping them grow into a confident and resilient companion.
🐾 Health, Nutrition & General Puppy Care – Exploring important aspects of puppy wellbeing, including feeding, nutrition, grooming, handling, preventative healthcare and recognising when your puppy may need veterinary attention.
