COACH CARLY ACADEMY🦮

Puppy Group Classes
A confident start for puppies and their people

My six-week puppy course provides practical, reward-based guidance during one of the most important stages of your puppy’s development.

With a maximum of four puppies per class, you will receive individual coaching in a calm, friendly environment while your puppy learns essential skills for everyday life.

Build Strong Foundations Together

Puppyhood is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. Biting, toilet accidents, disrupted sleep, chewing and difficulty settling are all common challenges.

These classes will help you understand your puppy, create practical routines and begin teaching the skills they need to grow into a calm, confident family dog.

Each week combines demonstrations, coached practice, questions and simple homework to continue at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How old should my puppy be?

The suitable age range will be stated for each course. Your puppy must also meet the venue’s vaccination requirements.

Can my family attend?

The main handler should attend every class. Additional family members may be welcome subject to the venue’s capacity and class rules.

What happens if I miss a class?

Because each week builds on the previous session, attendance at all six classes is strongly recommended. Missed sessions are not normally transferable or refundable.

Is this a puppy playgroup?

No. The course focuses on calm learning, safe socialisation and essential life skills. Puppies will not be allowed to engage in uncontrolled group play.

What if my puppy is nervous?

Contact me before booking. We can discuss whether the small group environment or a private puppy consultation would be the most supportive starting point.

What training methods do you use?

All coaching uses kind, ethical and reward-based methods. Fear, force and intimidation are not used.
