Dog Training Group Classes and Workshops
Our focus?
Understanding your dog, not controlling them
Building trust, not obedience for obedience's sake
Helping you both thrive, not just survive
Small Classes. Big Support.
Our group classes are capped at just 4 dogs — so you won’t get lost in the crowd, shouted over, or trampled by an overenthusiastic doodle.
It’s a chill, supportive space where you and your dog can learn, laugh, and leave feeling more connected than when you arrived.

Impulse Control
One off 90 minute workshop
Impulse control isn’t about stopping behaviour. It’s about teaching the dog how to pause, think, and choose a different option when something exciting shows up.
This short, practical workshop focuses on building that pause without pressure, shouting, or constant micromanaging. No drills. No forcing calm. Just clear setups that help dogs practise self control in a way that makes sense to them.
We’ll work on:
What impulse control actually is and what it isn’t
Building a pause before movement, food or play
Helping dogs cope with frustration without tipping over
Using simple games to teach waiting and thinking
How to avoid accidental wind ups that make things worse
Ideal for dogs who struggle with excitement, grabbing, rushing, barking or finding it hard to stop once they start. Also useful if you want calmer behaviour without dulling your dog or nagging them into submission.
You’ll leave with a handful of clear exercises you can use straight away and a better understanding of how to build control without killing enthusiasm.
