We offer both puppy and foundation classes, so wherever your new family member has come from they can join in and learn some of the basics thanks to our tailored courses.


We use positive, reward based training. As well as modern, ethical, and science lead methods that are proven to work and be more effective long term. These puppy and dog training methods also promote a better relationship with pet parents, which helps build better bonds, trust. and relationships.
