Give Your Puppy the Best Start in Life
Raising a confident, well-mannered dog starts in the first few months. Our Bristol puppy training classes help you build great habits early—socialisation, confidence, obedience and calm behaviour around real-world distractions.
Instead of scrolling through conflicting online advice, you get a clear, modern training system led by expert trainers who make the process simple, enjoyable and effective.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where Do You Run Puppy Classes in Bristol?
We teach puppy classes at Ashton Park School, Blackmoors Ln, Bower Ashton, Bristol BS3 2JL.
When Do Your Puppy Classes Run?
Classes start on the date you select when booking and run weekly for four weeks.
When Can My Puppy Start Training?
Your puppy can join classes once they’ve had their first vaccination. This matches WSAVA guidance: early socialisation is low-risk and critical for preventing fear or aggression in adolescence.
Is My Puppy Too Old for Puppy Class?
If your puppy is over six months old, we recommend our adult dog classes instead. At this age they learn better alongside dogs of similar maturity.

Your place is secured immediately. We’ll send you onboarding information and add you to the WhatsApp support group so you’re ready for your first session.
Can I Bring Family or Friends?
Absolutely—your friends or family are welcome to join and learn with you.
What If I Miss a Class?
We’re unable to offer refunds for missed classes, but we provide guidance via WhatsApp and your included one-to-one session to help keep you on track.
