Puppy Group Class

Puppy Group Class is where good dogs are made. The first five months of your puppy's life determine their temperament, confidence, and how they'll respond to the world as an adult. This class ensures you get it right from the start.

Each week, your puppy will be exposed to other puppies in a safe, controlled environment where they learn appropriate play, bite inhibition, and how to coexist calmly around distractions. We focus on the foundational skills every puppy needs: potty training guidance, crate training, basic obedience commands, impulse control, and settling behaviours.

You'll learn how to manage common puppy challenges like mouthing, jumping, overexcitement, and attention-seeking behaviours. We teach you how to communicate clearly with your puppy, establish boundaries, and build the kind of relationship that leads to a well-adjusted, obedient adult dog.

This isn't a chaotic puppy play session. This is structured training with clear goals, progressive curriculum, and real-time coaching from professional trainers. You'll leave each week with specific homework assignments designed to reinforce what your puppy learned and keep progress moving forward at home.

Puppies who complete this program transition smoothly into adolescence with fewer behavioural issues, better impulse control, and a solid foundation for advanced training later. This is your opportunity to prevent problems before they start and build a dog you can trust for life.

What Makes Our Group Classes Effective

Small Class Sizes
We never exceed 4-5 dogs per class. This ensures every dog gets individual attention, trainers can coach each handler effectively, and the environment stays controlled and safe.

Built-In Distraction Work
Other dogs in class provide the exact distractions your dog will face in real life. Your dog learns to obey commands regardless of what's happening around them.

Progressive Curriculum
Each week builds on the last. We don't repeat the same exercises for six weeks. We progress systematically towards reliable, real-world obedience.

Professional Trainers
Our trainers have years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. You're not learning from a pet owner who took a weekend course. You're learning from professionals who do this every day.

Accountability and Support
Weekly sessions keep you consistent. You'll have homework, clear goals, and a support system of other owners working through the same challenges.

Real-Time Feedback
Trainers observe your handling in real-time and provide immediate corrections. You'll learn proper timing, technique, and how to read your dog's body language.
