What your dog will learn

These aren’t just tricks—they’re the essential life skills that help you raise a confident, calm, and responsive pup. We’ll help your dog:

  • Focus on you, even around distractions

  • Settle calmly at home and out and about

  • Greet people and dogs politely

  • Walk nicely on lead

  • Build confidence around new sights, sounds and situations

  • Learn how to stay when it matters most

  • And loads more everyday good behaviour

“An amazing class to attend when you’re starting out with your puppy. Sandra and her team are friendly, helpful and incredibly knowledgeable… They don’t assume ‘one size fits all’—there’s always a tailored suggestion when something needs tweaking.”
