When private training is needed

If your dog struggles with anxiety, over-arousal, fixation, or reactivity around dogs or people, group classes aren’t suitable. Signs include reacting or escalating even when using high-value treats. Private training builds skills safely under controlled conditions. Private sessions are also recommended for reactivity, aggression, fear, separation anxiety, resource guarding, fence reactivity, or any home-based behaviours. They allow training to be tailored to your dog’s needs and environment.

Weekly, 1h lesson each week, for the duration of your class (4 weeks for our regular puppy schools or 3 for our express puppy classes). The class runs at the same location and at the same time each week!

Yes, in fact it is best to join as early as possible since the most important socialisation period for dogs is 8-12 weeks of age. This is ideal for puppy school as well. Studies show no increased health risks in puppy schools and plenty of behavioural benefits.

Puppy schools are always run in private locations, never in public outdoor spaces. All our locations are safe and cleaned with F10 which vets use as well to eliminate health risks such as Parvo. We have never had any health issues in our puppy schools!

Dog parks and socialisation with unknown dogs is what you should avoid before your dog is fully vaccinated. Puppy schools provide safe socialisation for young puppies!

Our online booking is live and available 24/7 so you can book anytime – the class will show as sold out if it’s not available anymore!

Any time from 8 weeks to 16 weeks of age, after their first vaccination at 6 weeks of age. Please note that puppies do not need to be fully vaccinated to attend puppy school, the first vaccine is enough. In fact, waiting too long before attending puppy school can result in behavioural issues since the most important socialisation period for dogs is 8-12 weeks of age.

Puppy schools are never run in public, only in private and safe spaces cleaned well with the same cleaning products vets use for their clinics (F10). Studies show no increased health risks in puppy schools, we have never had any health issues in our classes.

All puppies must be on a vaccination program and parasite control.

Our puppy school is designed for puppies in their crucial socialisation period, up to 16 weeks of age. For older puppies, our popular teen dog classes are perfect.

Depending on the size of the space, we take up to 9 puppies per class. We will always maintain a good learning environment by limiting the amount of people (max 2 people per puppy) while providing good social experiences for the puppies.

As early as possible from 8 weeks of age. The best time to join puppy school is typically between 8 to 16 weeks of age. The most important socialisation period is 8-12 weeks of age, this is the best time to start! This is when puppies are most receptive to learning and socialising, and their critical developmental period for socialisation occurs.

Early training helps set a strong foundation for good behaviour, builds confidence, and reduces the risk of behavioural issues in the future. However, even if your puppy is older, it’s never too late to start training and socialising them! Our teen classes are great for puppies older than 16 weeks of age!

There’s socialisation and play time at the end of each class – in a structured and controlled way. All puppies are individuals with different temperaments and we make sure socialisation is done gently considering everyone’s confidence level. In the second class we educate the owners on how to socialise puppies correctly and how to learn to recognise good play and socialisation. We keep it all safe and positive!

Our puppy preschool classes are structured so socialisation is always positive and carefully managed — never overwhelming for your pup.

Our classes are suitable for all breeds, including small puppies. Socialisation is carefully controlled and managed to ensure a safe and positive experience for every dog. It’s important for puppies to be exposed to a variety of dogs in a structured way, rather than avoiding certain breeds, as this helps prevent fear and builds confidence.

Puppy training is the process of teaching your puppy essential skills and good behaviours from an early age. It focuses on basic commands like sit, down, stay, come, and leash manners, as well as socialisation, impulse control, and problem-solving. Puppy training helps your dog develop good habits, builds a strong bond between you and your dog, and sets the foundation for a well-behaved dog in adulthood. It also addresses important skills for dealing with distractions, meeting new people or dogs, and managing fear or anxiety in different environments. Puppy training is recommended for all puppies up to 5 months of age.
