A Thoughtful Beginning for Your Puppy
Puppy Co. Baby is a positive, reward-based program created to guide puppies through their most important developmental period, laying the foundations for calm, capable, socially confident dogs.
These classes support owners just as much as their puppies. You’ll gain practical tools to communicate effectively, understand behaviour and guide your puppy’s learning in a calm, supportive way.
Your Puppy’s First Lessons
Every session blends learning, exploration and connection, and includes:
Foundational skills that support calm behaviour at home and out in the world
Healthy social experiences that go at your puppy's pace
Impulse control exercises that meet puppies where they are
Engaging activities that build focus, confidence, and curiosity
Supporting Your Puppy Every Day
Puppy Co. Baby includes supporting written notes for every session, provided by email or printed material (your choice), plus a bonus take-home resource to support your puppy’s progress outside of class. This resource is designed to complement what we do in class and helps you:
Make thoughtful choices about your puppy’s experiences
Build skills and confidence gradually in everyday life

Frequently Asked Questions

The program runs for six consecutive weeks, one hour per week. Week 1 is an information session for people only, covering learning theory, training foundations and practical guidance on the early essentials - so you and your puppy are set up for success from the very first session they attend. From Week 2, puppies join for practical learning.

From Week 2 you'll need your puppy on a flat collar or harness, small high-value food rewards, a food pouch or waist bag, a favourite toy, and a small bed or mat for your pup. A what-to-bring list, including guidance on food rewards, will be provided at Week 1.
