Our Outdoor Puppy Class is a five-week course designed to give your puppy the best possible start in the real world. Each week, we meet in a different outdoor location; such as The Guet, local parks, town areas, or the beach, so your puppy can learn and practise essential skills in a variety of everyday environments. (Locations are weather dependent and chosen with safety and comfort in mind.)
Training in real-life settings helps puppies develop confidence, focus, and adaptability as they encounter new sights, sounds, and distractions. A key part of this class is helping your puppy learn to stay calm and attentive around other dogs — an essential skill that sets the groundwork for navigating the more challenging adolescent phase.
Throughout the course, we cover the core foundation exercises every puppy needs, including focus work, sit, down, loose lead walking, stay, recall, and simple tricks. We also introduce the basics of scent work, explore appropriate play, and discuss how to guide your puppy through new experiences positively and safely.
This class is ideal for owners who want to build strong early training habits and a confident, well-mannered puppy who can focus, think clearly, and thrive in the real world.

At Active Dog Training & Behaviour, we use positive reinforcement only — modern, humane, and backed by science.
That means no punishment, no intimidation, and no confusion.
Instead, we show your puppy what to do, reward them for getting it right, and build behaviours that last because your puppy enjoys learning.
