THIS COURSE IS WEATHER-DEPENDENT – if the temperature is too hot, we will move the course online instead. Puppies do not regulate their body temperature well and are at higher risk of heat stroke than adult dogs. We will always put your pup’s safety first. If we do move the class online, we will find a separate date as a group to meet up so all of the puppies can meet their classmates when the temperature is appropriate.
Location

Requirements / Terms
- We take up to 6 puppies per class to keep the class size small and provide more one‑to‑one advice and guidance.
- Pups must have received their first vaccination 1 week before starting the course. If classes are outdoors, pups need to be fully vaccinated or kept on an oversized picnic blanket and carried to and from class (possible for the first 2 practical sessions).
- Once you have submitted your form, we will send you a confirmation email with details about our upcoming available puppy training class.
- Please note that our puppy classes are based on a first‑come, first‑served basis, and prepayment in full is required to secure your pup’s spot. We will hold a place for your puppy for 48 hours after we have sent you an invoice.
- For puppies who are particularly fearful, anxious or reactive towards people and other dogs, please get in touch before booking. We may need to assess if a group puppy class is the best environment for them at this stage or if private may be more appropriate – please see the terms and conditions below for more information.
