Puppy & Dog Training
Being able to confidently take your puppy or dog on a calm walk, bring them with you to family and friends or to sit in a cafe or bar with a dog that content and happy to settle.
​
Whatever you do as a family your dog or puppy can join in! They can learn life skills to keep them safe, let them wonder freely to explore and be around other dogs to play.
​
Be able to leave the home with or without your best friend and enjoy each others' company at all times, creating that forever bond.
The style of teaching means you aren't standing still in a class like a rabbit in headlights. We keep it moving and don't make those stand out that are struggling on the day. Training is to be fun and enjoyable, for not just your dog or puppy but for you too!
