Foundations for life Course 

Socialisation, training & problem prevention

Pup1 - Foundation Level - For puppies up to 18 weeks

Cost: £86.00 4 week course

Starting life with a new puppy can be both joyful and challenging. Our 4-Week Puppy Training Course is thoughtfully designed to give you and your puppy the essential tools for a positive, stress-free beginning, setting the foundation for a calm, confident, and resilient dog.

Whether this is your first puppy or you want to refresh your training skills, our expert trainers will guide you through fun, reward-based techniques, real-life skills, and problem prevention strategies tailored to your puppy’s unique needs.

We keep class sizes small with a maximum 5 puppies per course with two experienced trainers—so you receive personalised support in a calm, friendly environment. Every session is carefully monitored to ensure your puppy’s experiences are positive and stress-free, helping prevent future behavioural issues.

 

What are the benefits?

  • Vital Social Interaction Opportunities: Throughout the course, we provide structured chances for puppies to socialize at their own pace—nervous puppies build confidence gradually, while more confident pups learn calm and polite greetings.

  • Extra Social Sessions Available: For very nervous puppies or if you want to start before the foundation course begins, additional socialization sessions can be booked at our Seale venue to support your puppy’s needs.

  • Positive First Experiences: We focus on creating positive, rewarding first interactions that foster trust and resilience.

  • Highly Qualified Trainers: Our classes are led by a highly experienced behavioural instructor with 25 years experience and degree and Masters qualified. Karen is a professional trainer who understands puppy development and behaviour, ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment.

  • Confidence and Resilience Building: Every part of the course is designed to nurture a calm, confident puppy ready for life’s challenges.

  • Telephone and WhatsApp support: If you need help between classes we are here for you, offering support throughout the course via phone or WhatsApp for extra piece of mind.

  • One to one training available: For more in depth challenges such as separation issues or you want to enhance your puppy's training further, we also offer a tailored one to one service you can book as an extra service. 

 

What You and Your Puppy Will Learn

  • Handling skills for vet visits, grooming, and health checks

  • Developing attention and focus—even amidst distractions

  • Calm sits, downs and stays developing patience and impulse control

  • Polite manners: stop puppy biting, jumping up, and stealing

  • Reliable recall—your puppy comes when called!

  • Loose-lead walking for stress-free daily walks

  • Teaching a strong "Leave it" cue

  • Encouraging healthy play: toy skills and a solid "Drop" command

  • Support with house training, leaving your puppy, sleep issues and anything else that crops up Karen will be there to support and advice. 

 

By the end of the course, you’ll feel empowered and confident, equipped with the knowledge and skills to enjoy a rewarding lifelong partnership with your puppy.

​

Spaces are limited to ensure the best individual support for you and your puppy. Secure your spot early and join a welcoming, judgment-free community where your puppy’s wellbeing and happiness come first.

Canine kids run specialised puppy classes purely for socialisation and confidence building. These social sessions are carefully constructed and well managed to provide positive social interactions during this critical time. Learn how to socialise your puppy well and how to read your puppies in a situation.
