A Dog paying attention during training

Train with your dog

Training for every stage of your dog’s journey – from playful puppyhood to confident adulthood.

Welcome to our classes!

Whether you’re welcoming a playful new puppy into your home or looking to fine-tune the skills of your adult dog, our classes in Oxford provide the perfect opportunity to build confidence, teach essential behaviours, and strengthen the special bond you share with your furry friend.

What We Offer

  • Adult Dog Classes
    Ideal for dogs of all ages, our adult classes focus on building essential skills, improving obedience, and addressing specific behavioural challenges. Whether you want to perfect recall, reduce pulling on the lead, or simply enhance your dog’s focus, our experienced trainers are here to help.
  • Puppy Classes
    Help your puppy get off to the best possible start with our fun and supportive classes. Designed to promote early socialisation, confidence-building, and good canine manners, these sessions will set a strong foundation for your puppy’s lifelong happiness and behaviour.
  • Kennel Club UK’s Good Citizen Dog Scheme
    Our classes include the Kennel Club UK’s Good Citizen Dog Scheme, open to both puppies and adult dogs. Whether you’re starting with the Puppy Foundation or working towards Bronze, Silver, or Gold Awards, these classes are perfect for setting achievable goals and celebrating milestones together. We’ll guide you every step of the way.

Class Schedule

Our classes follow school calendar dates and run in structured terms starting in September, January, and April each year, with a summer break to allow everyone time to relax and enjoy the warmer months. Each term offers a fresh opportunity to join and progress through our tailored programmes, ensuring continuity and clear goals for both you and your dog.

We welcome new members at the start of each term. Spaces are limited, so early registration is recommended.

Classes are typically held on Sunday mornings, offering structured lessons to fit conveniently into your weekend. Each session provides focused guidance and practise opportunities for you and your dog to make steady progress together.

Check out our calendar for your class schedule and other events.

Class Progression

New members are placed in a class that matches their dog’s current skills and needs after an initial assessment. This ensures that everyone starts at the right level.

As you progress, you’ll have opportunities to join more advanced classes, continually building on successes and achieving new milestones.
