Every stage of a dog's learning life

Group courses are the backbone of the school, but some dogs and some families need a different shape. Private and home-visit lessons fill the gaps.

What you can book

Six ways to learn

All of them follow the same force-free approach and the same handbook.

Puppy foundations

Six weeks of play, handling and first skills for dogs from eight weeks to five months, with an hour of off-lead socialising.

Everyday manners

Six weeks for dogs of any age. We focus on recall, loose-lead walking and calm greetings at the front door.

Tricks and confidence

Four weeks of fun skills that give shy dogs a reason to look at their handler and enjoy being asked questions.

Agility starters

Eight weeks introducing tunnels, jumps, the A-frame and weave poles. Heights are set by a coach, never by the calendar.

Private lessons

One-to-one sessions at the arena for problems that do not suit a group, such as separation anxiety or resource guarding.

Home visits

A trainer comes to your home within the city limits to work on door manners, crate training or a new baby in the house.

What happens at your first class

  1. 01

    Arrive early

    Come ten minutes before the start so your dog can sniff the arena and settle before the other teams arrive.

  2. 02

    Warm-up games

    A trainer leads name games and focus exercises that build the habit of checking in with you.

  3. 03

    Skill of the week

    Short demonstrations, then practice in pairs with a trainer moving between teams to help.

  4. 04

    Homework sheet

    You leave with a one-page plan and the option to message your trainer during the week.

About our classes

Do dogs meet each other in class?

Only when ready. Early lessons use barriers and distance, and dogs interact once their handlers have good control.

What should I bring?

A flat collar or harness, a six-foot lead, a bag of small soft treats and your dog's vaccination record.

What if we miss a week?

Book a make-up in any matching class during the same term at no charge, as long as places remain.

Not sure which course fits?

Describe your dog and the trainers will suggest the right starting point.
