Group Classes

Kind, practical classes for real-life dogs and their humans

Our group classes are fun, supportive and welfare-first, with a strong focus on real-life skills, emotional wellbeing and helping dogs make better choices.

We don’t believe in forcing dogs to “behave” through fear, pressure or outdated dominance-based methods. Instead, we use reward-based training to build confidence, calmness, connection and skills that actually work outside the classroom.

Whether you have a brand-new puppy, a chaotic adolescent, a rescue dog finding their feet, or an adult dog who needs help with lead walking, recall, chasing, focus or calmness, we’ll help you find the right class.

Our Classes

Puppy Power

For puppies up to around 20 weeks.

A fun, supportive puppy class designed to help your pup grow into a confident, resilient and well-rounded dog.

We cover foundations such as confidence, calmness, focus, handling, recall, lead skills, socialisation, play, body language and everyday life skills.

This is not about overwhelming puppies or letting them run wild. It’s about giving them safe, positive experiences and teaching you how to support their developing brain.

Perfect for: new puppies, first-time owners, confidence building, early life skills and positive socialisation.


Awesome Adolescents

For dogs from around 20 weeks to 2.5 years.

Teenage dogs can be hilarious, intense, emotional and hard work. This class is designed to help you understand what’s going on in your adolescent dog’s brain and support them through this stage without falling into frustration.

We work on focus, calmness, impulse control, lead walking, recall, disengagement, confidence and better choices around distractions.

Perfect for: teenage dogs, selective hearing, big feelings, frustration, over-excitement and “they used to know this!” moments.


Lead Legends

For dogs who pull like trains.

This class focuses on loose lead walking, connection, proximity and calm movement around everyday distractions.

We look at why dogs pull, how arousal and frustration affect lead walking, and how to build more enjoyable walks without yanking, correcting or battling your dog.

Perfect for: pulling, zig-zag walking, rushing ahead, lead frustration and dogs who struggle to stay connected outside.


Unleashed & Unstoppable

For recall, engagement and off-lead freedom.

This class is about so much more than shouting your dog’s name and hoping for the best.

We build the foundations for safer off-lead freedom, including recall, check-ins, proximity, disengagement, focus around distractions and choosing to stay connected even when the world is exciting.

Perfect for: recall struggles, dogs who disappear into the distance, dogs who love other dogs/people/wildlife, and owners who want more freedom without chaos.


Chase Choices

For dogs who chase things that move.

Some dogs are hardwired to notice and chase movement — cars, bikes, joggers, cats, birds, squirrels, livestock, shadows, lights or anything that suddenly activates their brain.

This class helps dogs build better choices around movement, with a focus on safety, disengagement, frustration tolerance, calm observation and alternative behaviours.

Perfect for: chasing, fixation, movement sensitivity, predatory motor patterns and dogs who struggle to switch off around fast-moving things.


Rescue Remedy

For rescue dogs who need extra support.

Rescue dogs often need time, patience and thoughtful training to help them feel safe in their new world.

This class focuses on confidence, decompression, trust, calmness, engagement, body language, gentle life skills and helping your dog cope with new people, places and situations.

Perfect for: newly adopted dogs, nervous rescues, overwhelmed dogs, confidence building and owners who want to understand their dog more deeply.


Peaceful Pups

For dogs who need help finding calm.

This class is all about settling, switching off and building calmness in everyday life.

We look at arousal, rest, stress, routines, boundaries, enrichment and simple games that help dogs learn that not everything needs to be exciting, important or reacted to.

Perfect for: busy brains, over-excitement, poor rest, attention-seeking, unsettled behaviour and dogs who struggle to relax.


Scent Success

For dogs who love to use their nose.

Scent detection is a brilliant way to build focus, confidence, optimism, impulse control and mental enrichment.

This class introduces scentwork in a fun, accessible way and gives your dog a job they can feel brilliant at.

Perfect for: enrichment, confidence, focus, busy dogs, older dogs, adolescent dogs and dogs who need a calmer outlet for their brain.


Lovely Life Skills

For dogs ready to build more real-world skills.

This class is for dogs who have some foundations and are ready to practise in more challenging, practical ways.

We work on calm movement, disengagement, settling, confidence, focus, lead skills and useful everyday behaviours that help your dog cope better in real life.

Perfect for: progressing after puppy/adolescent classes, improving reliability, building confidence and taking skills beyond the basics.

Not Sure Which Class Is Right?

That’s absolutely fine. You don’t need to know exactly what your dog needs before getting in touch.

Tell us a little about your dog, what you’re struggling with and what you’d love life to look like. We’ll help you choose the most suitable class or let you know if private 1:1 support would be a better fit.

Important Class Info

All classes are reward-based, welfare-first and designed to support both dogs and humans.

We do not use or allow choke chains, prong collars, shock collars, harsh handling, lead corrections or intimidation-based training.

Dogs are kept on lead unless instructed otherwise, and we don’t allow on-lead greetings or chaotic free-for-all play. This helps every dog feel safer and gives them the space they need to learn.

Classes are relaxed, friendly and supportive. You do not need a “perfect” dog to join us.
