THINKING ABOUT PUPPY CLASSES?
Get Set Up for Success
Everyone wants a calm, well-mannered puppy, but it's hard to know where to even begin! There are tons of classes to choose from, so what makes these ones so special?
Plenty of socialisation
Your puppy will get to meet plenty of new canine friends, people of all types, and you'll receive instruction on how to continue this critical element of your puppy's upbringing outside of the classroom as well as in!
Real-world focus
Most classes make the mistake of teaching you just a list of behaviours. What we'll do together is master the practical, real-world skills that you need to help make daily life with your puppy simple and enjoyable! You can easily apply your learning from the moment you walk out the door in your first class.
Simple, supportive, fun
All of my training is certified fear and force free, simple and fun for all the family! Everything I provide with your place on the course is designed carefully to give you as much support and guidance as possible, while also preparing you to leave the classroom confident in your own abilities.
THE PROCESS
How it Works
Here's the full process, from your start point today to beginning your very first class with me. Still got questions about how this will work for you? You can book in a FREE 10 minute phone call with me to chat through any questions using the button below.
01 - Choose your tier and pay for your classes
Select an option, choosing either Essentials (the tier you're currently looking at now), or Plus. Once you've picked the option that best suits you, follow any of the buttons on the page to go ahead and pay for your classes - the full total amount is required upfront to secure your place!
02 - Complete onboarding
With the Essentials tier, your onboarding will be in the format of short videos, which will cover all the information that you need before starting your classes. It's important to cover this ahead of time so that when you first come to class, you're prepared and able to get the most out of it! To level up your experience, consider upgrading your classes to Plus, which includes a 60-minute 1:1 Session held at your home before you start your classes, in which we'll cover not only the standard onboarding information, but also get you sorted with help and advice on any existing puppy problems, getting you instant relief from issues like biting, toilet training troubles, and much more!
03 - Book your first class
Once you have completed your onboarding, you will be provided with the link to book your first class, and all subsequent dates. The software takes care of everything - simply select your desired start date, and it will automatically select the following 5 classes for you, ensuring that you get your 6 weeks of classes lined up with minimal interruptions.
04 - Turn up and have fun!
Head to your classes and enjoy! Training is fun, and you'll be welcomed into a supportive, engaging classroom with easy exercises to suit dogs and handlers at every level. These classes are perfect no matter your background or experience level with dogs and training - just come along and have fun!

FAQs
Choosing the right classes can feel overwhelming - if you want to know more about me, the classes, or have specific questions, then why not book in your free 10-minute Discovery Call to chat with me directly!
Is my puppy suitable for these classes?
My classes are open to puppies of any breed and ability aged up to 6 months at the time of signup. If your puppy is older than 6 months, please check out my 'Dream Dogs Academy' classes which are tailored to meet the needs of adolescent and adult dogs looking to complete basic training. If you're not sure whether these classes are right for your puppy, please feel free to book your free call with me to discuss.
What's the difference between Essentials and Plus?
Both tiers give you the same class experience, with the full 6 week curriculum and everything that comes with that. The difference is that with Plus, you get some added extras which can really help to take your training experience to the next level: instead of onboarding virtually, you will get a 60-minute 1:1 Session held at your home, which will allow me to not only provide you with the onboarding information in person, but also to give you immediate, customised help and support for any existing issues at home like biting and toilet training troubles. With Plus, you will also receive a printed copy of my hefty tips and resources booklet, as well as a welcome goody bag including some treats from top suppliers and some kit essentials. For students looking to level up their experience, Plus is a great way to do so!
Myself or my dog have a disability - can we attend?
Absolutely - my venue is fully accessible for wheelchairs and mobility aids, including an accessible bathroom. In terms of adapting to your dog's needs, I'm always happy to make any adjustments as needed to accommodate them - if you feel your dog may meet this criteria of needing potential adjustments, please do reach out to me by booking in your free call, and we can discuss ahead of time to ensure everything is as smooth as possible for you.
How long will onboarding take - do I need to do much?
No, it won't take long and doesn't require much from you! Essentially, with students able to join at any time, this method is how I can make sure that you have key information about the venue, safety, class rules, and basic training techniques ahead of getting started with me. The video content for onboarding is very concise, so you just need around 5-10 minutes to watch the provided videos, and once these are completed you will receive your link to book your classes.
Can I bring my kids to class?
Of course! I've often had full families in the classroom, and it's great to get everyone involved in training. All I ask is that you make sure that you will be able to supervise your children appropriately during class - I would usually recommend that you have more than one responsible adult in your group if you are bringing children along, as this allows one person to focus on puppy and one person to focus on the kids as needed!
Building calm and connection — one step at a time. A supportive space for kind, science-based dog training that fits real life.
