Our Kennel Club Puppy Foundation Course is designed for puppies aged 12 weeks to 12 months. It’s the ideal first step in your dog’s training journey and follows a nationally recognised syllabus created by The Kennel Club.
This course focuses on calm behaviour, confidence building, early socialisation, and teaching your dog the essential life skills they need to grow into a happy, well-mannered family companion.
Each session is structured, supportive, and reward-based — with a strong focus on building trust between you and your dog.
