Puppy Club
Our puppy school classes run all year round. The first lesson is an online pre-recorded presentation you’ll watch in your own time, prior to attending the first in person class, with your puppy. This presentation will answer a lot of your questions about toilet training, biting, socialisation and independence training.
Puppies only need to have had their first vaccination to attend these classes.
We’ll provide advice on a range of puppy topics, exposure and training opportunities for your new puppy. Join our Puppy Club course to get help and support for pups from 8 weeks to 16 weeks of age.
Group classes cover exercises such as sit, go to your bed, drop, lead skills, recalls (come when called), meal manners and some fun tricks which provide confidence building for your pup. We also have fun with exposure activities, building trust with your puppy through training and strengthening your bond and relationship.
You’ll learn how to effectively train your puppy using food and toys, it’s all about building trust and confidence.
If you have sibling puppies or two puppies around the same age, we recommend you book into separate courses to give your puppies the best chance of growing up as confident individuals. Puppies from the same household or siblings cannot attend the same classes together.
If you’d prefer private coaching sessions for your new puppy, sign up to our New Puppy Program for private lessons.

Kind words from some of our lovely clients
“Our puppy Samson loved the new Puppy Program with Sharon and her patient model Chloe. Despite having had many dogs over the years, we both learnt so much from Sharon and found the classes to be engaging with many pearls of wisdom to easily incorporate into our everyday lives. We’re looking forward to the Manners Foundation course next with our puppy who has now doubled in size and strength!” ….. Lauren and Samson
“Sharon is a fantastic instructor and was amazingly helpful for my puppy. The Puppy Club program was excellent and really informative, giving us a lot of useful and practical things to work on each week. Sharon’s advice was also really invaluable in an individual consult after that as well. Seeing the results week after week in our dog’s behaviour and all of the new things he can do has been really fun and safisfying. I can’t recommend Sharon highly enough.” ….. Andrew and Hugo
