Puppy Training & Socialisation

I’ve been running successful puppy classes in Falmouth since 2001

The critical learning and development period for puppies is between 6 & 16 weeks, so the younger your puppy can start the better!

My puppy course is quite unlike most other puppy training courses with flexible times, 24/7 access to help and support with puppy problems, a friendly WhatsApp group with members of your class and a bespoke plan for your puppy via my colleagues at zigzag!

I understand many people work shifts, have young children and need flexibility for training times and it can be difficult to keep to the same day training each week, but, it's also important to get puppies on the right track at a very young age to prevent unwanted behaviours developing.

My 6 week course involves puppies learning new and different skills each week in a very practical way while owners learn all about body language, reward timing and lead handling skills!

We will work on lead walking, polite greetings, recall, stay, sniffing games and a variety of activities in a kind and positive and fun way!

Please select your start date on the booking link and I will send you your start up information and add you to my what's app puppy training group, where you can ask questions, connect with other puppy owners and where I can notify you of any changes due to weather or what to bring along.

Please note, well behaved children are ALWAYS welcome and I encourage them to take part in the training if they are keen.

Your pups training course will also include a bespoke training plan according to your pups age and breed and access to qualified behaviourists and trainers specialising in puppy behaviour via the zigzag training app 24 hours a day for a WHOLE YEAR.

This includes support on crate training, nipping, chewing, diet and exercise so no need to google, stress or worry about puppy problems as you will have access to excellent professional help 24 hours a day!!!

Wednesday morning 9.15am (this is for young puppies who are not ready to join outdoor classes due their vaccines but are keen to socialise, learn basic skills, explore and play)

Tuesday 10.30am Pendennis Castle carpark

Wednesday 5.30pm Helston Boating Lake by the cafe

Saturday 10am Swanpool beach carpark

The full cost of your flexible 6 week puppy course, bespoke training plan and what's app puppy training group is £100, with each session lasting one hour.

This includes membership of a puppy training group chat and plenty of homework, hints and tips and 24/7 access to a team of specialist puppy trainers via the zigzag training app

Please click below to select a class at a time and location that suits you best. The date you click will be your start date for the next 6 weeks. If you need to miss a class, this can be discussed, and you can make up the missed session at another time. Once a puppy has completed their course, many owners choose to continue with outdoor training classes.
