Requirements / Terms
- We take up to 6 puppies per class to keep the class size small and provide more one‑to‑one advice and guidance.
- Pups must have received their first vaccination 1 week before starting the course. If classes are outdoors, pups need to be fully vaccinated or kept on an oversized picnic blanket and carried to and from class (possible for the first 2 practical sessions).
- Once you have submitted your form, we will send you a confirmation email with details about our upcoming available group classes.
- Please note that these classes are based on a first‑come, first‑served basis, and prepayment in full is required to secure your pup's spot. We will hold a place for your puppy for 48 hours after we have sent you an invoice.
- For puppies who are particularly fearful, anxious or reactive towards people and other dogs, please get in touch before booking. We may need to assess if a group puppy class is the best environment for them at this stage or if private may be more appropriate - please see the terms and conditions below for more information.
