Group Puppy Classes and Workshops 

 

Last spot available for Puppy Classes until September is Saturday mornings at 9am in Matfield!!

​

We run two types of Puppy classes: Puppy PreSchool and Foundation Puppy

 

Puppy Preschool - *Matfield venue only 

 

For pups aged between 3 - 4 months (up to 5 months for small breed dogs). This is NOT a training course - though some training may take place! This course is all about allowing your puppy to socialise, play and learn about farm animals in a safe environment. No two courses will be exactly alike as our trainers will adapt each class to cater for the puppies in front of us. 

As well as learning key life skills, you will get the chance to ask our trainers about any puppy ownership questions you may have. 

​

Foundation Puppy 

​

This is a beginners training course suitable for young puppies up to the age of 5 months. We aim to make our classes fun, relaxed and informal while still getting results. Our aim is to help you shape the dog you want while improving your relationship with them and having fun. This class aims to build the foundations for a well rounded, happy dog. The course will consist of teaching your dog the basics such as sits, downs, recall, lead walking, no jumping up, stays and more.

​
