Training programmes

Bringing home a puppy is an exciting time, but those early months are also the perfect opportunity to build the foundations for a happy, confident and well-mannered dog.Our Puppy Foundation Class focuses on essential life skills, positive learning and, most importantly, building a strong and trusting bond between you and your puppy. We believe training isn't just about teaching commands — it's about developing communication, confidence and a relationship that will last a lifetime.Throughout the course, we'll work on: confidence building, lead walking, recall, polite greetings, calm behaviour and settling, impulse control, guarding prevention, and focus and engagement.We'll also provide practical advice and guidance on some of the biggest challenges puppy owners face, including toilet training, puppy biting, separation training and crate training.Our aim is to give you the knowledge, confidence and practical skills to help your puppy grow into a happy, confident and well-adjusted adult dog, while creating a positive relationship built on trust, understanding and teamwork.The best time to start building those lifelong skills is from day one.

Ready to take things further? Our Improvers Class builds on the foundations and introduces more advanced skills in a fun, supportive group environment.

Join Terri for an hour's relaxed, friendly walk for sighthounds and their people. They're a chance to enjoy the outdoors, meet fellow owners and help your dog practise social skills at their own pace, with space to feel comfortable.We weave in a little training along the way, keeping it short, fun and useful for everyday life. Think calm walking around other dogs and checking in with you, with plenty of time for sniffing and enjoying the surroundings.For Terri, bringing people together is a big part of the joy. Sharing stories, having a laugh and watching friendships grow makes these walks just as much for the humans as the hounds.
