New Indoor Puppy Class – 6 week programme
A new indoor class specifically for puppies.

On top of this you will learn about how to deal with puppy behaviours like; jumping up, nipping/biting, over-excitement, attention seeking, barking/whining and separation anxiety to name a few, and not forgetting that all important young puppy socialisation with dogs outside of your family and friends pets.

Our training methods:
- We encourage as much owner participation as possible to benefit from the training
- Families welcome (and encouraged) to the outdoor classes. Indoor classes have limited spacing so please consider how many people need to come along.
- Children not recommended at Dog Academy sessions.
- Increasing the owners understanding of their particular dog and breed
- Positive training methods with gentle corrections. What we call a common-sense approach
- We do not use harsh physical methods or shouting
- Information on rewarding your dog the do’s and don’ts
- Games to increase mental stimulation and avoid boredom
- Short exercises changing frequently to avoid boredom and increase memory
- Outdoor classes incorporate short exercises changing frequently and repeated each week due to the flexible booking of this class. This is a proven method over decades and you advance the training with the level of your dog.
- Indoor classes incorporate a progressive 6-week training programme, with each week brining a new element or progression of the previous week, this is a different approach but equally as successful.
Our trainers have a wide range of breed knowledge and welcome all breeds large and small into the classes.
You will be trained by a fully qualified Advanced Professional Dog Training Instructor with the CIDBT and Master Professional Dog Training Instructor with the Guild of Dog Trainers.
