Rated 4.9 out of 5 from over 200+ dog owners
Our structured Puppy Social sessions are based on fun, reward-based play on different surfaces, meeting new people, meeting other puppies, and an introduction to different and unexpected sounds.
You will learn how to help your puppy become more confident in new scenarios and how to teach it manners when playing. There is a question and answer section towards the end of your session to give you a chance to speak to the trainer about anything you need help with. This brilliant group session works perfectly either before or alongside your puppy class.

The Dog Barn. Purpose-built training hall with underfloor heating and a non-slip floor to help your puppies feel confident and ready to learn.
We also offer convenient amenities like ample car parking, clean and accessible toilets, and tea and coffee facilities. Don’t forget to check out our on-site shop, stocked with a selection of training tools, toys, and other puppy essentials.
Can my puppy join before receiving vaccinations?
You can bring your puppy after they’ve had their first vaccinations. It is important that you pick up your puppy and carry them to the training hall where they can then be put on the training hall floor. Our training hall floor is cleaned regularly, however, bringing your puppy before both vaccinations and putting them on the floor is entirely your choice.
Can more than one person come?
We can allow up to a maximum of 4 people per puppy, this includes children. Please ensure children are accompanied by an adult at all times.
I have 2 puppies, can they both come?
Yes, you can book more than 1 puppy. Please be aware that each booking is for 1 puppy.
What do I need to bring?
Flat collar, harness or head collar and lead. Please don’t bring extender leads, slip leads or choke chains.
Good quality treats such as cheese, JR pate, chicken or other soft meaty treats – not their normal kibble. Treats can be purchased at the centre or by visiting www.naturalchoicepetfoods.co.uk where you can use the ‘pick up’ option at the checkout so they’re ready to collect before your session.
Poo bags – Just in case!
Small blanket/bed
Favourite toy/tuggy & a filled Kong – your puppy will need something to keep them busy when your trainer is explaining the exercises!
Please make sure you wear suitable clothes and shoes for these sessions, pockets or a treat bag (treat bags also available at the centre) are essential.
Please feel free to bring your own water and your dog’s water bowl unless you are happy for your dog to use the shared communal bowls.
Where do I meet my trainer?
After you arrive, please head to our reception/shop and let a member of our team know you’re here. There are benches out the front where you can wait or you can browse the shop and your trainer will find you.
