Puppy Classes - Socialisation & Life Skills in Newmarket 

Where learning is fun, enjoyable and positively powerful

Every moment is a learning opportunity for your little puppy, whether you like it or not!  

Our puppy school takes you and your puppy on a journey, giving you both the skills you need to  develop great habits, brilliant behaviour, and have an awful lot of fun together.  

I’ll be by your side through the early days of toilet training, sleepless nights and puppy biting, and guide you through each natural development stage that throws up its own curveballs along the way!  

With The Dog’s Choice, you can skip the second guessing, the middle of the night googling, and all the worries about whether you’re getting it ‘right.’  

Breathe a sigh of relief, you’ve found the perfect guide to help you navigate the early puppy months!

What to expect at puppy class

Expect fun, and lots of it! It’s scientifically proven that we all learn more when we’re having fun, and that’s no different for your puppy.  

Teaching life skills like lead walking, recall, toileting in the right place and respecting boundaries are of course important. But the most important thing to focus on with your puppy is your relationship - when you learn to understand and communicate with each other - everything else is much, much easier.  

Expect to learn a lot, but to be pleasantly surprised at just how much fun you and your puppy have together each week… and watch those lessons happily flow into day to day life.  

Before you know it, you’ll be nailing life together and enjoying incredible experiences along the way.  

Areas Covered: Newmarket, Cheveley, Ashley, Wooditton, Dullingham, Kirtling, and surrounding areas. 

Or train with me online wherever you are in the world. 

Meet your dog trainer (and optimism provider!)

I started training because of my own experiences with my reactive dog Matty. I stumbled through and struggled with lots of conflicting and well-meaning advice that was unfortunately totally wrong for Matty.

I was devastated and that started me on my journey to not only help him but also help others.

It would be an honour to support you and guide you from the very beginning with your puppy, so you can skip the mistakes and enjoy every moment together.

I’m kind, force-free and compassionate with both dogs and humans. And I’d love to help you escape the strain and enjoy the life you deserve.
