Puppy Class

Looking for a puppy training class in South East London?

 

Milne and Mutt's puppy classes are the perfect place to start your puppy's training journey. We provide a calm, supportive environment where puppies learn essential skills while safely socialising with other puppies and people.

We understand that every puppy develops at their own pace — some are ready to dive in straight away, while others need more time and space. Our classes help owners learn to read their puppy's body language so that all interactions remain positive and stress-free. By giving puppies choices and letting them progress at their own pace, we focus on building confident, happy dogs from the very beginning.

What your puppy will learn

  • Sit, Down and Stand

  • Leave

  • Focus and attention games

  • How to settle calmly

  • Recall (coming when called)

  • Brain games for mental enrichment

  • Puppy play and safe socialisation

  • Walking nicely on the lead

  • Drop

  • Stay and Wait

  • Polite greetings (no jumping)
     

Our South East London puppy classes are designed to give you and your puppy the skills, confidence and understanding needed for a happy life together.

What to expect from class:

  • My puppy classes are kept deliberately small — so that every dog and owner gets the individual attention they need. No one gets lost in the crowd, and I always have time to answer your questions and support you both.
     

  • Every session is an hour of structured, practical training built around real-life situations — the things that actually matter day to day, like walking nicely on the lead, coming back when called, and greeting people politely. Classes are designed to be fun for your puppy and enjoyable for you too, because I firmly believe that when learning feels good, it sticks.
     

  • You'll also receive helpful email handouts after every class so you can practise at home with confidence between sessions — and I'm always on hand for support when you need it.

This class is ideal for:

  • New puppy owners who want to start training the right way

  • Puppies aged 10 weeks +, who are fully vaccinated

  • Owners looking for positive reinforcement puppy training

  • Puppies who need safe socialisation opportunities

Meet Jemma

My journey into dog training was shaped by my late friend and mentor Oli Juste, whose influence inspired me to leave stage management in the West End and pursue a career I'm truly passionate about. Since founding Milne and Mutt in September 2017, I haven't looked back.

I'm a full member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT, no. 01494) and hold a Distinction in the Advanced Diploma in Applied Animal Behaviour (Canine), Level 5. 

I believe dog training should feel kind, fun and achievable — for dogs and owners alike. My goal is to help you build a clear, trusting relationship with your dog and give you the understanding and confidence to communicate effectively, in a way that feels supportive and enjoyable for both of you.

Most importantly, classes are genuinely fun — for your dog, and for you too."

Pet Gundog Class

Pet Gundog Training Classes in South East London

Looking for pet gundog training classes in South East London? My pet gundog classes are a fun, practical introduction to the basics of gundog training — designed for dogs over 6 months who have some foundation training already. All breeds and mixes are welcome.
 

I believe dog training should feel kind, fun and achievable — for dogs and owners alike. My goal is to help you build a clear, trusting relationship with your dog and give you the understanding and confidence to communicate effectively, in a way that feels supportive and enjoyable for both of you.

Why gundog training?
 

London is full of gundog breeds and gundog crosses — spaniels, retrievers, pointers and their mixes are everywhere, often without their owners even realising it. These dogs were bred to use their noses, eyes and brains all day long. When those instincts aren't given a suitable outlet, they don't switch off — and that's often when you start to see pulling on the lead, chasing, selective hearing, or running off when off lead.
 

But gundog training isn't just for gundogs. Dogs of all breeds benefit from the mental and physical stimulation it provides. The focus, impulse control and clear communication your dog develops in class helps them cope with busy city life — building confidence and making everyday walks calmer and more enjoyable for both of you.
 

What your dog will learn:

  • Heelwork and loose lead walking

  • Recall — reliable coming when called

  • Place board training — settling calmly in one spot

  • Stops and impulse control

  • Retrieving and hunting games

  • Whistle cues for off lead control
     

This class is ideal for:

  • Dogs aged 6 months and over with some basic training

  • Dogs who need more mental stimulation and enrichment

  • Anyone who wants to improve focus, recall and lead walking in a fun, practical way

Book your Pet Gundog class in South East London today and enjoy walks, games, and training that will keep your dog mentally stimulated, well-behaved, and happy.
