Are group classes right for my dog?

This class is for dogs who are comfortable around other dogs and people, who will enjoy learning in a group class environment. It’s not a good fit for reactive or anxious dogs who bark, lunge or shut down in close group settings.

If your dog isn’t comfortable in these environments but you’d like to work towards it, I’d love to support you on that journey. I offer one to one training for dogs with big feelings and their people, helping you navigate city life together.

Is this class just for bringing my dog to pubs and taprooms?

Not all all! This class will also teach you and your dog skills for other dog friendly outings like cafes, markets, and restaurants.

What skills will my dog learn?

We’ll train real life skills for taking your dog to taprooms, pubs and cafes, including:

• Settling, chilling out and doing nothing. Which is harder than it sounds!
• Walking on a loose lead in tight spaces
• Working on if, when and how to greet people and other dogs
• Navigating distractions like noise, movement, and dropped food

Will my dog have to say hi to other dogs or people?

Nope! Greetings will be optional and dependent on each dog. We focus on helping dogs regulate their emotions and learn skills - giving dogs choices, not forced interactions.

Can I grab a beer during class?

During training, we keep drinks alcohol free so everyone can focus on their dogs. You’re welcome to stick around after class for a beer and some relaxed practice time.

How many dogs are in each class?

We keep classes small, no more than 4 dogs - so everyone has space to learn, relax and receive individual coaching.

Can I bring my puppy to this group training class?

For Cheers & Chill group training classes dogs should be at least 6 months old and be up to date with thier vaccinations.

For puppy training and socialisation I support new puppy parents with one to one training to help you navigate puppyhood, and get your city pup off to the right start. Drop us a WhatsApp message to arrange a free discovery call to chat about how we can help.
