Puppies can start my younger puppy classes from one week after their first vaccination.
For optimum benefit, we recommend puppies begin classes as young as possible and certainly before 12 weeks of age, as this is when their critical socialisation window begins to close.
I separate classes for two key reasons:
If your puppy misses a class, you’ll still have access to the online learning platform. The in-person classes are designed to be 4 consecutive weeks for maximum benefit and experiences. Make-up classes are generally not offered due to the structured, consecutive nature of the program and class size limitations.
Maximum class size is 6. This means I can spend quality time during class with you and tailor exercises to suit your puppy’s needs.
Each class is 45-60 minutes depending on the number of puppies and the activities we do in that class.
Details for accessing the online learning platform will be provided upon enrolment. You’ll receive log in details via email.

I understand that every puppy is unique and my classes are designed with that in mind. I actively manage the environment to ensure puppies feel safe and comfortable.
My training and behaviour modification methods are force-free, empowering and focused on emotional well-being. I’m kind, patient and supportive of people and animals. I will not use punitive tools or techniques that cause fear, pain or intimidation.
