How old does my puppy need to be to attend classes?
We believe in the benefits of early socialisation so as long as your puppy has received at least his first vaccination and has been cleared by your veterinary surgeon to attend, he can begin his Puppy School education straight away! your tutor will guide you clearly through each exercise, offering individual help & advice where required.
How many puppies will be in our class?
Class numbers are kept small; no more than 8 puppies as an absolute maximum to ensure individual help & attention can be given.
What training methods do you use?
We only use positive, reward-based methods using food & toys to motivate puppies at our classes, any negative or punitive actions will not be allowed or tolerated by your tutor.
