Puppy Group Classes

At Evolution K9, our Puppy Group Classes are designed to give your puppy the best possible start in life through structured training, clear communication, and positive early guidance. The first few months of a dog’s life are some of the most important, and laying the right foundations early can make all the difference in shaping a calm, confident, and well-mannered companion.

Our 6-week course is carefully designed to help puppies begin learning the essential skills they need to navigate the world successfully. Through a structured group setting, your puppy will be introduced to obedience foundations, focus, engagement, and early social development in a calm and supportive environment.

Using the NeMo® method, we teach puppies and owners how to build communication through the leash from the very beginning. With no treats, no toys, and no bribery, our focus is on helping your puppy understand guidance clearly and develop the right habits through structure, consistency, and proper timing. Our aim is not simply to teach commands, but to create the foundations for a balanced relationship built on trust, respect, and understanding.

What the course is designed to help with

Puppyhood is the perfect time to begin introducing boundaries, structure, and clear expectations. Our Puppy Group Classes are designed to help with:

• Basic obedience foundations
• Lead manners and walking calmly
• Focus and engagement with the owner
• Socialisation in a structured environment
• Building confidence around people, dogs, and new surroundings
• Learning calmness and self-control
• Developing good habits from an early age
• Creating better understanding between puppy and owner

This course is ideal for owners who want to start their puppy’s training journey the right way, with guidance that supports long-term success rather than short-term distraction.

Why group classes?

Training in a group environment gives puppies the opportunity to learn around real-life distractions while still working in a controlled and supportive setting. This can be incredibly valuable in helping them develop social confidence, neutrality, and the ability to focus on their owner even when other dogs and people are nearby.

Group classes also help owners gain confidence in handling their puppy in a more realistic setting, giving them the tools to apply what they learn in everyday life.

What to expect

Over the course of 6 weeks, you and your puppy will be guided through structured sessions that focus on developing the key foundations needed for future obedience and good behaviour. Each class builds on the last, allowing your puppy to progress gradually while giving you the understanding needed to continue the work at home.

You will learn how to communicate clearly, how and when to apply the correct guidance, and how to help your puppy make better choices with consistency and structure. Our classes are designed to support both the dog and the owner, because successful training comes from both ends of the lead.

Who these classes are for

Our Puppy Group Classes are ideal for young dogs who are at the beginning of their training journey and owners who want to establish the right structure from the start. Whether your puppy is full of confidence, a little unsure of the world, or simply in need of clear direction, these classes provide a strong and supportive starting point.
