Puppy Class

The perfect start to your puppy's training journey

Bringing a new puppy home is exciting — but it can feel overwhelming too, especially when it comes to socialisation and training. These classes are designed to take the pressure off, giving your puppy a calm, controlled space to learn and grow at their own pace.

Every puppy is different. Some bound in full of confidence, others need a little more time to feel comfortable. That's completely normal, and it's exactly why class sizes are kept small — so every puppy gets the individual attention they need, without anyone feeling lost or overwhelmed.

Through gentle, positive socialisation, your puppy will learn to feel at ease around other dogs and new people — building the kind of confidence that carries into everyday life. Alongside that, they'll pick up the essential skills that make life together genuinely easier: from walking nicely on the lead to coming back when called, settling calmly, and navigating the world without fear or frustration.

Everything taught in class is practical and real-world ready — because the goal isn't just a well-behaved puppy in a training hall, it's a happy, confident dog out in the real world.

Pet Gundog

Pet Gundog 

Channel instincts into focus, recall, and calm

South East London is packed with Spaniels, Retrievers, Vizslas, and Pointers — dogs that were bred for a full day's work in the field, using their nose, eyes, and brain in equal measure. But you don't need to be heading to the countryside to give them what they need. Gundog training is one of the most effective ways to fulfil a working breed mentally and physically, channelling those powerful instincts into something focused and rewarding — for them and for you.

And it's not just for gundogs. The skills at the heart of this training — impulse control, focus, scent work, and responding calmly under distraction — are genuinely useful for every dog, regardless of breed. A Dachshund, a Staffie, a Labrador cross — every dog benefits from having a job to do and a way to use their mind.

These classes give your dog exactly that: a proper, purposeful outlet that builds a stronger bond, better behaviour, and a dog who is calmer, more focused, and more fulfilled in everyday life.
