Unleash your puppy's potential with our Puppy Training & Socialization Classes, perfect for pups up to 8 months old!

Starting Monday, 28th July 2025, at Unleashed Dog Park in Pencaitland, these classes run for six weeks every Monday evening at 7:10 p.m. For just £130 your pup will learn essential skills like sitting, lying down, focusing, polite greetings, lead walking, recall, and waiting/staying. We'll also teach fun tricks such as rollover, peekaboo/middle, touch, and spin/twist to keep your pup engaged and entertained.
Each class concludes with valuable socialization time for the pups.
You'll receive a handout after each session with a recap and home practice tips. With classes capped at five pups, you'll get plenty of one-on-one attention and the opportunity to address any specific concerns.
Led by Elizabeth Steward, who holds an Advanced Diploma in Canine Behaviour Management and is a provisional CAB member of the APBC, these fun, positive, reward-based sessions are designed to set you and your pup up for a fantastic future together. Please PM for booking details!

"In this life, you're meant to have one great dog," I said.
"One that shifts something deep inside you, in a way you never saw coming. He shows up maybe when you need him most, maybe when you're too lost to see it. And in the smallest, most ordinary moments, he changes you."

I paused thinking of all the nights, I trudged through, feeling like I was carrying the weight of the world alone.
"He's the one who brings you back, makes it bearable when you're tethering on the edge. He doesn't try to explain or preach. He just stays there, showing you a kind of love you didn't think existed."
And that's the thing about that one great dog, he makes you question how you ever got by without him. You look at him, lying there, and realize he's given you more than any person ever has - no big speeches, just a presence, that says I'm here with you. And somehow that's enough to change everything.
