Beginner Puppy Class - 5 Week Fundamentals Course

Beginner Puppy Class - 5 Week Fundamentals Course

We invite you to join our popular Positive Paws puppy classes. We have had over 1000 puppies take part in these very popular group classes.

Fun and functional classes at our outdoor training facility in the idyllic Cambridge countryside,

Small group sizes to ensure the puppies can relax and concentrate without being overwhelmed. Suitable for all puppies whether they are nervous, confident or somewhere inbetween.

We work on recall, beginnings of loose leash walking, the ‘calm settle’, attention building games, fun exercises and then we aim for 5-10 minutes of carefully managed off-lead play time at the end of each session with appropriately paired up puppies.

Reward-based, ethical and effective training methods to build a strong bond between human and puppy.

4 puppies per class. 2 humans per puppy per class are allowed to attend. You can alternate who comes each week.

Suitable for puppies up to 5 months of age, ideally starting a week after your puppy’s 2nd vaccination.

The classes are held on a Saturday or Sunday morning at Positive Paws, Comberton Road, Barton, CB23 7BA.

Get in touch for more info or clicking on the booking page to see what upcomming classes we have. If you can’t see any classes suitable for you, feel free to click the contact page and send a message.

I also offer 1-2-1 training should you wish to get a head-start before your puppy joins classes and, depending on location, I can come to your house to help with getting your puppy settled in at home.
The 1-2-1s can be done as early as the first week your puppy comes home and I recommend this even if you are looking to join group classes as there is so much I can help you with including getting your new puppy settled into their new home as smoothly as possible, reducing puppy bitting, toilet training advice, how to help your puppy not be too over-excited or nervous of guests over the house, routine, enrichment, appropriate child-puppy interactions and much more.

Feel free to get in touch for more information on this.
