Puppy Fun & Games

Puppy Fun & Games Claire Hudson, Certified Dog Trainer & Hoopers Instructor
Delivering fun, reward‑based training with real results. We train for a fun time, not a long time!

I offer 1to1 lessons, small‑group classes, and Hoopers sessions. Designed to make learning effective, enjoyable, and tailored to your dog. My name is Claire, I am a certified and fully insured local Dog Trainer. At Puppy Fun & Games, we offer engaging, reward-based training courses designed to help you and your dog build confidence, strengthen your bond, and enjoy learning together. Whether you're

looking for structured puppy classes to set your young dog up for success, one-to-one lessons tailored to your dog's specific needs, or Canine Hoopers training for fun, low-impact agility, there's something for everyone. Our classes are designed for both people and pups to enjoy the sessions and have FUN! It’s scientifically proven that dogs learn faster through play. Here’s a quick overview of the training courses available at Puppy Fun & Games. Each course is designed to help dogs and owners build confidence through reward-based learning. For full details on each offering, click the links below! Puppy Classes - Give your puppy the best foundation with our six-week training course, designed to boost confidence, build essential skills and create positive experiences. With only four puppies per class, your pup gets plenty of individual attention while learning in a relaxed, friendly environment. Each week, they’ll gain confidence through positive social experiences with other puppies and their owners, helping them develop essential life skills.

1 to 1 Dog Training - If classes are not convenient for you, one to one training offers a flexible and personalised alternative. I provide tailored sessions designed to meet your dog's individual needs and training goals. We can focus on anything that matters to you, from essential skills like loose lead walking, polite greetings, and recall to more specific challenges unique to your pup. Canine Hoopers - Canine Hoopers is a fun, low impact, free flowing agility style sport that is low impact on your dog's joints but high on the fun scale. The sport is accessible for dogs and owners of all ages and fitness levels as it requires distance handling rather than running with your dog.

Saturday Afternoon Puppy Class 🐕✨

Celebrating our Saturday afternoon puppy class graduates 🎉

While we missed a couple of familiar faces, this group still did an amazing job and has come such a long way over the past few weeks. I’ve loved watching their confidence grow and seeing those training foundations come together through positive, fun sessions.

We missed Nora and Tilly at graduation, but hope to see everyone again soon 💕
So proud of all these pups and their humans - this is only the beginning!

Jaffa was not impressed about being left out of yesterday’s taste test 😅
So this morning, I sprinkled a little chicken topper on her breakfast…
At first I wasn’t sure she approved 🤨
But then—gone in seconds 🐾✨
Safe to say we’ve got a winner. She LOVES it 💛.

Saturday Morning Puppy Class 🎓🐾

Our Saturday morning puppy class has officially graduated and I couldn’t be prouder! 💛

These pups have worked so hard building strong foundations, confidence, focus, calmness, and good manners, all through positive, fun training. The progress from week one to now has been wonderful to watch.

A huge well done to the owners too for their consistency and commitment 👏🐶

Such a lovely group who have really supported each other - and we were all sad that Biscuit couldn’t make it - you should all be so proud!, I know I am!

We’ve been testing The Nutriment dog food as part of a trial for The Dog Trainer School, and it’s safe to say it’s been a hit here 🙌🐶

Immy and Wozzie enjoyed theirs spread on lickimats, with a sprinkle of the Freeze Dried Raw Topper for extra enrichment — and they absolutely loved it 🥩✨

I’m also a big fan of the fact that almost all of the packaging is recyclable, which is a huge plus for us ♻️💚

Great food, happy dogs, and enrichment that keeps tails wagging — exactly what we like to see.

🎓🐾 Graduation Shout‑Out 🐾🎓
Huge congratulations to this gorgeous, clever pup who has flown through her training with confidence from the very start! ✨ She’s picked everything up so quickly and I'm excited to see her joining a group class soon. 🌟🐶

What do you do when you run out of Primula (the dogs’ whistle-recall reward)?
…You try the new duck training treats instead! 🦆✨

They both had a little taste before going off-lead… Immy didn’t leave my side afterwards, and judging by the speed Wozzie flew back (plus the enthusiastic lip-licking!), I’m guessing they were very tasty! 👍😋

🐾✨ New Pup Alert! ✨🐾
Today we welcomed a gorgeous 9‑week‑old pup to her very first lesson!😍 What makes this extra special is that her owner booked before she even came home - I love seeing owners plan ahead like this, as it means I can offer pre‑arrival support if needed.

Starting early in our safe indoor barn means puppies can begin lessons as soon as they’ve had their first vaccination. Early lessons help prevent unwanted habits and give you immediate reassurance whenever you need it.

Building confidence from the start lays strong foundations and makes the journey smoother for both pup and owner. 🌟🐶

If you have a new pup planned, or arriving soon, get in touch to secure your place!

🎄 Christmas Gift Vouchers
A couple of people have asked me recently if I offer gift vouchers… so I thought, why not! They’re a lovely way to treat a dog‑mad friend or family member this Christmas.
You can choose any amount, and the voucher can be used towards any Puppy Fun & Games service, from 1‑to‑1 training to group classes or Hoopers sessions. Vouchers are valid for 6 months from the date of purchase.
✨ Simple, festive, and a thoughtful gift that brings joy to both dogs and owners.

🎁 How it Works
- WhatsApp or email me at [email protected] with:
- The amount you’d like to gift
- Who the voucher is for (owner and/or dog’s name)
- I’ll reply with a payment link for the amount you’ve chosen.
- Once paid, I’ll send you a personalised Christmas voucher ready to print or forward.
- The person you’re gifting can then use it towards any Puppy Fun & Games service. If their chosen session costs more, they can simply pay the difference.

Puppy Fun And Games At Wagtails

This is a 6 week course that is run on a 1 to 1 basis. This means we are totally flexible in our lessons and can tailor them to any particular struggles you are experiencing or goals you would like to work towards. The training is based on concepts and learning through games and play, which at the same time helps you build the valuable relationship between you and your dog. These classes are about people and pups enjoying the sessions and focussing on having FUN! The lessons are between 45-60 minutes long, depending on the attention span of your puppy! We have both indoor and outdoor facilities which means we can be totally flexible on where we hold the class depending on the weather. No standing out in the rain or snow! We have a large gravel parking area on site for your convenience. Depending on the weather we also have the benefit of a Herbal Healing Garden for your puppy to sniff round and explore for some additional enrichment. We also provide access to a number of e-books throughout the course which supports the lessons and games that you will be playing! Be prepared for homework too!! The more you play the games with your pup the quicker they will learn, but it is so much fun it doesn't feel like learning. WE PLAY FOR A FUN TIME NOT A LONG TIME!
