Puppy Play

Puppies will be allowed to play in very carefully controlled small groups to ensure they learn good manners around other puppies, do not get scared, and do not learn to play roughly.. 

Puppies will be matched for size, age, and experience. Play will be carefully supervised to ensure that all puppies learn to be confident with others. 

* Please note, in some training classes, the mix of puppies may make it impossible to conduct puppy play sessions safely. Puppy play sessions will only be offered if they can be run without causing harm.

What we need from you?

Although all the information you will need to train your puppy will be given to you in class, you will need to set aside time every day to practice the exercises at home to make the most of the ideas you have been given. Training at home will allow you to progress further in class and will result in a better trained puppy.

As part of our course, you will receive a helpful manual which will allow you and your puppy to practice outside of classes.
