Puppy Kindergarten
Socialisation, toilet training, gentle handling and a solid ‘sit’ — all before the teenage phase hits.
Puppy school, manners classes and one-to-one help for worried, bouncy or reactive dogs. Science-based, reward-led and genuinely fun, for both ends of the leash.
Small groups of six dogs, indoor and outdoor arenas, and a trainer who knows every name — human and canine.
Socialisation, toilet training, gentle handling and a solid ‘sit’ — all before the teenage phase hits.
Loose-lead walking, polite greetings, settle on a mat and a recall that works in the park.
Private, then small-group sessions for dogs who bark, lunge or freeze around dogs, people or traffic.
Long-line work, whistle recall and impulse control so you can finally unclip with confidence.
Training changes with age: puppies need socialising, teens need patience and seniors love brain games. Find your dog’s stage.
Keep weight in check, brush teeth daily and add yearly blood tests from age five.
A relaxed 45-minute session to meet your dog and hear your goals.
A written, week-by-week plan with the games and cues to practise.
Group classes or one-to-one, at our arena, your home or the park.
A proper ceremony. With a hat. And a certificate for the fridge.
I’ve spent twelve years helping dogs and their families understand each other. Most ‘problem’ dogs are simply confused, bored or worried — and every one of them can learn.

“Six weeks of Reactive Rover and we can walk past the park without a meltdown. Ezra’s patience is endless.”
“Booked Pretzel’s puppy vaccine at 7am from bed and got a friendly reminder the day before. Easiest vet visit ever.”
“Rigatoni sprints to the daycare door every morning. The daily report card with nap times is my favourite email.”
Puppy Kindergarten welcomes puppies from 9 weeks, one week after their first vaccination. Early, gentle socialisation is the best start you can give them.
Never. We use reward-based, force-free methods backed by behavioural science. They work for every dog, and they build trust instead of fear.
Probably not yet. Reactive Rover starts with private sessions and small, controlled set-ups before any group work.
Yes, home visits are available within a 10-mile radius for one-to-one sessions and behaviour consultations.
Catch-up sessions are free, and every class comes with a short video recap and homework sheet.
Forty-five minutes, no pressure and a clear plan to take home — whatever your dog is up to.
