Perfect Puppy Foundations courses run for six weeks.
For dates and availability, please visit our Puppy Courses on our booking page.
Our classes are held in an indoor riding school in Great Kingshill so we are under cover and have lots of space. The surface is sand and the approach is a farm track, so level but uneven; please talk to us if you have mobility needs.
The six week course is £135, which includes full course notes.
The class is suitable for any young dog who has not received basic training andt the younger they begin, the better. Puppies should be vaccinated before joining, please talk to your vet. We do accept older puppies onto this course as we manage puppy interactions carefully and find it's beneficial for puppies to have the opportunity to mix with a variety of ages. If your puppy will be over six months at the start of class, please talk to us first.

Fun, friendly and popular, this is our best-ever puppy class! Designed to give you and your puppy the ideal start together, this six-week course is perfect for puppies or youngsters who have missed basic training.
You'll learn how teach your pup vital skills like -
​
* Paying attention to you
* Come when called
* Walk nicely on a lead
* Sit and stay sitting!
* Settle quietly on a bed
* Greet people calmly (no jumping up!)
* Give up an object when asked
* Come away from things they shouldn't touch
* Gain confidence in the outside world

​
It's all based on what young dogs really need to be able to do for happy day-to-day life.
We also cover common puppy issues like playbiting and help you to better understand your puppy by learning to read their body language. And there's time to talk about individual puppy concerns too.
Held in a large, airy barn with plenty of space, our groups are small (max 8) with two professional instructors, so we can offer you plenty of individual attention and feedback.
If your puppy will be more than six months old when classes start, please give us a call first to discuss
