Why my Puppy Classe are different

New puppy in the city. Hooray. Also, gulp.  Busy streets, scooters, fox scents, friendly strangers, and pigeons that look like they run the place and lets not mention the word Squirrel. City life can feel loud for little brains. That is exactly why my puppy classes are built for London living.

Outdoors, real world learning

We train outside near Wandsworth Common so your puppy learns in the environment they actually live in. Grass under paws, life going on around them, gentle exposure to the sights and sounds of the city. It builds confident, flexible puppies who can think, not just perform in a hall.

 Small groups, big support

Maximum five puppies. That means tailored coaching, space to breathe, and time for questions. Shy pups get room to settle. Social butterflies learn that calm wins. Everyone progresses. 

A thought for the week for city dogs

 Each week we include a short reflection on what it means to be a dog in London. We talk about rest, agency, sniffing, decompression, and how city routines shape behaviour. You leave with practical tweaks that make daily life easier, kinder, and calmer.

Videos to back you up

Life happens. If you miss a session, you still get the training. Every behaviour we teach in class comes with a clear video so you can practise at home. The videos also help partners, housemates, and dog walkers stay consistent. 

What we cover 

• name response and attention under gentle distraction
• supercharged recall that actually works in parks
• loose lead beginnings that protect shoulders and sanity
• settle on a mat for cafes and trains
• handling and care for real day life
• how to play with your puppy so that you don’t end up indadvertedly hurting them
• polite greetings and impulse control for busy pavements
• confidence games for novel city stuff like buggies and buses

my training philosophy

I am a positive, games based trainer. No aversives. We build skills through play, reinforcement, and smart setups. Puppies learn faster when they feel safe and successful. Owners do too.
