The structured socialisation in our puppy school provides exposure to various people, dogs, and environments, essential experiences for developing a confident, adaptable temperament.

This is completely normal and actually one reason why puppy preschool is valuable. Our trainers create a controlled environment where nervous puppies can build confidence gradually. We manage all interactions carefully to ensure positive experiences.
Yes, short daily practice sessions at home are essential for progress. We provide specific exercises each week that typically take 5-10 minutes daily, fitting easily into most schedules.
While attending all sessions provides the best results, we understand that life happens. If you miss a class, we'll provide the training materials covered and recommend a quick catch-up session before the next class.
Puppies as young as 8 weeks can begin learning through positive reinforcement. Our puppy training school adjusts expectations based on age, focusing on shorter, engaging sessions for very young puppies.
