Give Your Puppy the Best Start

Welcoming a new puppy into your life is an exciting adventure and we’re here to help you make the most of it. At FCDTC, our eight-week structured puppy programme is designed to lay the foundations for a happy, confident, and well behaved dog.

Our puppy classes also provide the perfect introduction to the Good Citizen Dog Training Scheme (GCDS), setting you and your puppy up for a smooth transition into the Bronze Good Citizen and beyond.

Why Join Our Puppy Classes?

Socialisation in a Safe Environment

Puppies need positive experiences with other dogs and people during their critical early months. Our classes offer a controlled, friendly setting where your puppy can safely socialise, build confidence, and learn appropriate behaviours.

Essential Life Skills

We teach core foundation skills including recall, sit, stay, walking nicely on a lead, and settling calmly. These skills form the building blocks of everyday manners and future training success.

Building the Puppy-Owner Bond

Training isn’t just about your puppy, it’s about you too. Our classes help you understand your puppy’s behaviour, improve communication, and strengthen your bond using positive, reward-based training methods.

Preventing Problem Behaviours

We focus on preventing common puppy challenges such as jumping up, chewing, and excessive barking before they become established habits, helping your puppy grow into a well-mannered adult dog.
