Puppies are brilliant. They’re also a lot.
The biting. The toilet training. The 5am starts. And the nagging feeling that you should be doing something now to make sure you get things right later.
You don’t need to know everything. You need good support at the right time.
Puppy training shouldn’t be six classes followed by a wave goodbye. The programme runs for four months and you pay for it over three.
We start where your puppy lives.
At home, on walks and out in real life.
Bring your questions every week and get them answered.
Recall, lead walking, focus, confidence and calmness.
Because puppy questions rarely wait for the next appointment.
Short tutorials you can return to when you need them.
The Puppy Programme
£199 a month, paid over 3 months
A four-month programme, paid over three months. Total price £597. Free assessment call before you commit.
Book a free assessment callWe’ll help you separate normal puppy behaviour from the things that need a plan.
We want puppies to learn that the world is safe and interesting without needing to get involved with everything in it.
Sometimes that means saying hello. Sometimes it means watching. Sometimes it means walking past. Sometimes it means having a nap in a café while absolutely nothing exciting happens.
Claire Hawkes helps owners through those first important months without turning puppyhood into one enormous checklist.
Her training is practical, reward-based and fits normal life. And she’ll reassure you that one terrible Tuesday doesn’t mean you’ve ruined your dog.

“I would highly recommend the puppy classes. Claire not only taught us the basic commands but gave great advice on a range of common puppy behaviours. It has been the perfect foundation to build on, and improved the relationship between me and my dog.”
Daniela DPuppy classes“Holly and Claire were invaluable with our puppy. We attended classes and had one-to-one help too. Knowledgeable, friendly and worth their weight in gold. I can’t thank you enough for all the clever training tips, which are making a huge difference.”
Miranda MPuppy classes“I’ve just completed the puppy course with Adam and can’t recommend it more highly. We were struggling with toilet training, jumping up and chewing everything in sight. We learned so much, and it set us up really well going forward. Charlie loved coming each week.”
