Got Questions?

Quick Answers

Puppies must be under 6 months old at the start of the course and have had their first vaccinations. All breeds welcome - from tiny terriers to gentle giants!

Flat collar or harness with lead, small tasty treats (the smellier the better!), a favourite toy, poo bags, and a blanket for settling practice.

Absolutely! Our trainers are experts at helping shy pups build confidence at their own pace. Small class sizes mean no one gets overwhelmed, and we never force interactions.

Outdoors at our Centre in St Columb (TR9 6JS) in secure, fully enclosed paddocks. Rain or shine - we're outside having fun!
