What age do puppies go to puppy school?
We recommended that you enrol your puppy in our puppy training course when he or she is between 8 and 15 weeks old. If your pooch is older than 16 weeks and has never been to puppy school, you still can enrol in dog training classes. Get in touch with us to find out more.
Why join our puppy school?
Socialisation:
Your puppy will learn how to socialise with humans and other puppies of the same age in a safe and playful environment.
Support:
We are personable and enthusiastic. Whilst answering all those puppy questions, we will encourage you to increase your dog skills and knowledge. If needed, we can offer one on one support outside puppy class.

Your puppy will also learn fundamental skills such as:
