🐶 What You’ll Learn in Our Puppy Classes

Appropriate Socialisation

Early socialisation is one of the most important parts of your puppy’s development—but it needs to be done correctly.

Our puppy socialisation classes focus on:

Positive exposure to people, dogs, and new environments

Building confidence without overwhelming your puppy

Teaching calm, neutral behaviour (not just playtime)

This helps prevent future behaviour issues and supports your puppy in growing into a well-adjusted adult dog.

College for Canines worked wonders from training my puppy when only 5 months old in puppy classes right through to achieve bronze, silver and Gold. Denise put both myself and my dog at ease immediately and helped us both train each other. The importance of mental stimulation and physical activity is a 50 50 task . I wouldn't go anywhere else the best behaviour and trainer in town. I happily recommend Denise and College for canines several times a day when I see new puppy owners on my walks with my own dog.

Me and my pup Milo have graduated from puppy class! Denise is fantastic at what she does. We’ve also used Bronze and Silver life skill classes too with our older dog Aero and they are very worthwhile 😁

The puppy class definitely helps to understand why puppy is doing certain things and helps with socialising and how best to train them for their basic life skills. Will most certainly be looking to sign our pup up to the life skills classes once he's a bit older.
