Puppy group classes

6-session block: £90

1 hour per session, once a week (£15/session)

Give your puppy the ultimate head start in a calm, focused environment.

Our specialized puppy classes focus on essential foundation skills, socialization, and confidence building. Because large classes can be overwhelming for young minds, we keep our classes small. This guarantees you and your pup get plenty of individual attention and support.

I use 100% positive reinforcement methods to make learning stress free, effective, and incredibly fun.

Beyond puppyhood

6-session block: £90

1 hour per session, once a week (£15/session)

Progress from basic obedience to advanced training — developing reliable recall, off-lead walking, impulse control, everyday handling skills, and greater confidence in real-world situations. As you progress through each block, we can also build in trick training, scent work and more, to keep that doggy brain active!

£30per hour

Accelerate your progress with fully customised, individual training sessions.

If a group class isn't the right fit for your dog, or if you want to focus heavily on a specific goal, our private 1-to-1 lessons are the perfect solution.

  • 100% Customised. Built entirely around your dog's age, breed, and personality.
  • Comfortable Environment. Perfect for reactive, nervous, or easily distracted dogs.
  • Expert Focus. Positive reinforcement coaching dedicated entirely to you.

From fundamental manners to targeted agility skills, we work as a team to achieve the results you want at a schedule that works for you.

Agility foundations course

4-session block: £60

1 hour per session, once a week (£15/session)

Build a magical connection with your dog through fun, easy to follow exercises. No equipment needed to get started.

Foundation Agility is a 4-lesson course covering all the basics for starting out on you and your dog's agility journey.

Agility is a fast paced dog sport where a dog and handler work as a team to tackle a course of equipment. Dogs have fun accelerating through tunnels, over jumps, and around weave poles, but it takes clear, accurate information from a handler to ensure their dog completes all the equipment in the correct order.

Teamwork

Learn to read your dog and work in perfect sync.

Mental stimulation

Improve your dog's focus and channel their energy.

Body awareness

Teach your dog to use their body safely and in a balanced way.

Confidence

Help your dog build a positive, enthusiastic attitude toward training.

Is this course right for my dog?

This class focuses entirely on low impact flatwork and foundation skills, preparing you to move onto full equipment safely. No prior competition experience is expected. Our primary focus is on safety, injury prevention, and having fun.

  • All breeds welcome
  • Dogs must be at least 6 months old at the start of the course
  • Dogs should be comfortable working around other dogs and people

What the four lessons cover

Jump skills, target training, wait training, forward drive, and distance control. We also introduce body awareness and fitness skills for your dog.

We cover motivation, reward, and reinforcement, as well as body language cues and techniques for the human half of the team.

After completing this foundation level, we can gladly recommend local advanced schools if you wish to progress further.

Focus sessions

£15 per hour

for a group class

Loose lead work or recall. Pick the one that is causing you the most grief. A focused session to kickstart, you'll leave with the technique and a practice plan. Lasting results usually need ongoing practice.

Loose lead walk

The most common request I get from owners is, without a doubt, help with loose lead walking. I'll help you and your dog enjoy your walks together, without the constant pulling and dragging.

Recall

A reliable recall is one of the most important skills you can teach your dog, and one of the biggest sources of stress when it's missing. I'll help you build a recall you can trust, so off lead walks become relaxed and enjoyable instead of nerve wracking.

Not sure which one fits?

Tell me your dog's age and what is tricky at the moment, and I will point you at the right service.
