"Zoe has been invaluable throughout the course of raising out cocker spaniel puppy. We have had 1:1 sessions, the 6 week group puppy course, and have recently taken up scent skills/modern gun dog training. Zoe is professional, experienced, knowledgeable, and you can tell that she really cares about the dogs she works with. Zoe always responds to the endless questions we have with breed specific advice, and has massively helped our puppy to be where she is today. Frankie absolutely loves her training sessions with Zoe. I look forward to continuing to work with Zoe to help develop and enrich Frankie further" - Eve, Jack & Frankie

 

Puppy Class

  • A course of 5 x 1-hour in-class puppy sessions, covering all basic foundation skills with the last session held 'in the wild' at a local quiet park just a few minutes walk from Golden Valley Vets to practice training in a realistic environment.  

​

  • Optional pre-class session held over zoom to discuss topics such as: settling in, separation, toilet training, puppy biting & chewing, building a bond with your puppy through fun training games whilst teaching skills & boundaries. 

​​

  • Suitable for puppies who have had their first vaccinations post 10 weeks up until 6 months. *If your puppy is older than 6 months get in touch as other class and 1-1 options are available*

​

  • A maximum of 4 puppies to a group to allow for plenty of 1-2-1 time for each puppy & owner. This allows for slightly tailored teaching to the needs of each puppy. 

​

  • Appropriate socialisation time so that puppies can mix constructively & I can talk you through on lead interactions (off lead where appropriate).  

​

  • Handouts and supplementary material sent out after every class.
