Puppy Club isn't only about training puppies.
It's about helping their humans leave feeling clearer, calmer and more confident too.
Puppy Classes without weeks of commitment
Puppy Club is a flexible, rolling alternative to a traditional puppy-training course.
Our eight practical topics run continuously. Every session works independently, so you can:
- start at any point
- choose the topics most useful to you
- attend occasionally or come every Saturday
- revisit a topic as your puppy develops
- pay for one session at a time
For the broadest puppy training foundation, work through all eight topics at your own pace. If life gets in the way, simply book the topic when it comes around again.
No waiting for another course to begin. No paying for dates you cannot attend.

Support before, during and after class
1. Start Here
Your first booking includes immediate access to our short online orientation.
Learn about marker training, rewards, toilet training, routines, sleep, management and how puppies learn - before you even arrive.
Enjoy approximately 60 minutes of practical, reward-based puppy training, scent activities, exploration and carefully managed social learning.
Classes are limited to five puppies, leaving room for questions and individual guidance.
3. Puppy Club Replay
After every topic you attend, you'll receive supporting training videos demonstrating the skills covered in class.
Watch them again at home and share them with partners, children or other caregivers.
No relying on memory. No conflicting instructions. Everyone can follow the same approach.
What can we learn at Puppy Club?
Look Who's Talking!
Engagement, attention and communication

Walk With Me
Loose-lead walking foundations

Handling, grooming and cooperative care
Prepare your puppy positively for brushing, harnesses, body checks, grooming and veterinary handling.
Hello, World!
Puppy socialisation and confidence
Help your puppy experience dogs, people, sounds, objects and unfamiliar situations without becoming overwhelmed.
I'm Okay Here
Settling and home-alone foundations
Build safe independence through settling. barriers and tiny absences - without leaving your puppy to become distressed.
Training that comes home with you.
It's easy to understand an exercise during class and forget an important detail when you try it later.
Puppy Club Replay gives your family clear demonstrations to revisit at home. You can pause, replay and practise at your own pace - and everybody involved in your puppy's care can see exactly what you're working towards.
These aren't random videos gathered from the internet. They're our own supporting training resources, chosen to complement what you've learned with us.
One session can help your whole household use the same cues, techniques and understanding.
Not Your Average Puppy Classroom
Learn inside our Scent, Search & Exploration Room
Every Puppy Club session takes place inside our own purpose-built dog training and enrichment space in Keighley.
Rather than expecting young puppies to sit still for an hour, the room gives them opportunities to:
- sniff and search
- investigate safely
- experience different objects and surfaces
- make choices
- build confidence
- decompress between activities
Scent work isn't restricted to one special topic.
Sniffing, exploration and calm observation are woven throughout Puppy Club because they support learning, confidence and wellbeing.
Puppy Socialisation Done Thoughtfully
Good puppy socialisation means much more than meeting or playing with other dogs.
Its about helping your puppy develop positive, manageable experiences of the world - and recognising when they need more time or space.
Social learning may include:
- calmly observing other puppies
- exploring while other dogs are present
- meeting different people
- investigating new objects and surfaces
- resting in a shared environment
- carefully match interaction where appropriate
Puppies will not automatically be released together for unrestricted play.
Any direct interaction will consider each puppy's size, confidence, communication and play style.
Nobody will be pushed into a greeting or interaction they aren't ready for.
"It was great - really useful! See you again soon"

Puppy Club Questions
Can we join partway through the rotation?
Yes. Every topic works as a standalone session, so you can begin whenever you and your puppy are ready
Do we need to attend all eight topics?
No. Choose the topics most relevant to your family or complete all eight for a broader puppy-training foundation.
Is Puppy Club suitable for a nervous puppy?
Possibly. Direct interaction is never compulsory and puppies are given space, but please contact us before booking. We'll help you decide whether Puppy Club or private puppy training would be the kinder starting point.
What is my puppy is much smaller or larger than the others?
We consider confidence, communication, size and play style. Puppies are not released together simply because they are a similar age.
Can we attend before our puppy's vaccinations are complete?
Please ask your veterinary practise when they recommend entering shared indoor environments, as advice can vary according to the puppy and local disease risk.
Can we attend before our puppy's vaccinations are complete?
Please ask your veterinary practise when they recommend entering shared indoor environments, as advice can vary according to the puppy and local disease risk.
If your vet recommends waiting, you can still attend without your puppy. Watch the demonstrations, practise the human part of the exercises, ask questions and receive the supporting videos to begin at home.
Every puppy attending must be well and free from signs of infectious disease. Risk cannot be removed entirely from any enviornment shared by puppies, and families acknowledge this when booking.
Can other family members attend?
Yes. Consistency across the household is valuable. However, we do request that any attending children are well trained and do not disrupt the session or approach other puppies.
Family members unable to attend can watch your Puppy Club Replay videos at home.
