Get support from our team, share progress, ask questions & help each other.
Classes are limited to 6 puppies per class so you’ll get plenty of 1-2-1 attention.
Our puppy training guide will support you through each stage of the course.
Grooming can be an intrusive but necessary process for a lot of dogs. Carefully exposing them to short but positive booths of brushing, handling and mock grooming from strangers will increase the likelihood of them being a model citizen on the groomers table in adult life.
The big one! Nothing will fulfil a dog and owner like enjoying off-lead freedom. However, if you’re like most owners and can’t trust your dog’s behaviour while off lead, then giving them that freedom may seem like light years away. Less freedom = a more pent up dog which may see a ‘decline’ in our dogs behaviour pushing us even further away from our recall goals. Arrghhh!! Our recall method is unlike anything else you’ll find online. We’ve helped to transform dogs that were reactive, pulling on the lead, chasing cars/squirrels/you name it.
Did you know that dogs are pre-programmed to play? Neglecting their need to play is actually akin to neglecting other needs like sleep, food and water. IF we were to do that, we’d be having big problems! We find that if we fail to meet these needs, we create a “pressure cooker” situation.
Place training is a great way to get your dog to settle and remain in control when needed. Practise your place training around lots of other moving dogs, humans and any other distractions the YCA trainers might throw at you.
All dogs need the skill of lead walking around distractions. Whether reactive or just so you can visit nice places and be sociable it's important we reach a minimum standard of lead walking.





Who are our puppy training classes for?
If your pup is older than 16 weeks - get in touch with us about our junior dog training options.
How our group puppy training classes work
Contact our team using the dog class form, and we’ll be in touch to enrol you and your pup on the next available session.
In your first week, you’ll meet your expert dog trainer and fellow puppy students. Here’s when you and your pup begin your journey.
We will work to a puppy class schedule which will take you and your pup through 6-weeks of puppy training designed to develop your pup into a well-mannered dog.
Every week you will learn something new in our puppy classes, where your pup will also get to interact with other puppies.
At the end of six weeks of classes, your puppy will officially be a graduate of the Yorkshire Canine Academy.

State of the art facilities
Relax with a coffee in our coffee shop before or after your training sessions and test your dog’s ability to do nothing before trying it out in the real world.
We have a large canopy in our field so, come rain, hail or shine we can continue your dogs training in shelter and shade.
Our large training field is perfect for training your dog in a safe environment while enabling us to increase the level of distraction they face.
Pick up all the equipment you might need for training your dog in our onsite store. We stock various leads, collars, toys and dog food, making us your one stop shop for all things dog!
Our dog room is air-conditioned in the summer months and heated through the winter so no matter what the weather, your dogs can rest in comfort between their training sessions.
Separate to our consultation space we have a mock living room for you to practice the art of doing nothing with your dog.

Group puppy training classes FAQs
Our puppy classes are designed for pups under 16 weeks of age at the start of the course. If your dog is older, please contact us about our junior dog training options, we have lots to offer!
Puppy class runs for 45mins each week, if we feel like the pups are tired, we’ll have a short break in the middle to give them a rest, and a chance for you to grab a coffee and refuel.
Yes please! The more the merrier, anyone involved in your pups training should come along. This ensures you’re all on the same page and means consistency for your pup.
Of course, our classes are limited in size to minimise disruption even if we have the odd rowdy participant. Our small class size means that our trainers are available to give you an extra helping hand if your pup is giving you a particularly hard time.
