When many people think of puppy training classes, they picture fixing unwanted habits like chewing, pulling on the lead, or jumping up. But the best training happens long before these behaviours become a problem. That’s where our puppy socialisation classes come in. Designed for all puppies—not just those showing issues—they focus on prevention, helping your pup grow into a confident and well-adjusted dog.
Why Early Puppy Training Is Essential
Puppies go through a crucial socialisation window in their early months, where every new experience shapes how they respond to the world as adults. Without positive exposure, dogs can grow up to be fearful, reactive, or anxious in everyday situations. By socialising your puppy in a safe and structured environment, you reduce the risk of these issues developing later in life.
Puppies can start attending classes after their first vaccination, which means you don’t have to wait until their full course is complete. To keep them safe, we ask owners to bring a big blanket to keep their puppy on, so there’s no direct contact with the floor. This allows young pups to join in with minimal risk, while making the most of their vital socialisation window, which begins closing between 12 and 16 weeks of age. Starting early ensures your puppy doesn’t miss out on this crucial stage of development.
