Why is puppy class important?🤔

Taking part in puppy class isn't just about teaching 'sit' and 'stay'!

It's also about:
👀Teaching strong focus around distractions
💪Building confidence in new situations
🤝Safe socialisation around other puppies
🫶Creating a strong bond with YOU!

Our next course starts in just over a week, have you booked your space yet?

Meet your trainer!⬇

Carol has been working with dogs since her teen years (we won't tell you how long ago that was...😜) in various rescues, and started her training journey with German Shepherds in competitive obedience! She then fell in love with Collies (and agility) and has owned numerous since. Throughout the years Carol has been on countless courses, workshops, and talks on everything from behaviour to nutrition to body language and more!👩‍🏫

Her current youngster, Luna, is a farm-bred collie working towards competing in agility - but mainly, is a family pet who loves hikes, swimming, and playing with her doggy friends.

Join Carol on her upcoming Puppy Class to teach your pup all the skills Carol has been teaching her dogs over the years 🤩
