Our Classes

At K9 Academy, we offer a range of fun, structured training classes designed to support dogs and their handlers at every stage of life. From early puppy foundations to adolescent and adult training, as well as agility for all abilities, our classes focus on positive, games-based methods that build confidence, good manners, and strong bonds.

As a Kennel Club Listed Status Club, many of our courses incorporate elements of the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme, supporting dogs and handlers as they progress through nationally recognised awards.

All sessions are non-competitive and delivered in a relaxed, supportive environment, using both indoor and secure outdoor facilities where appropriate.

Puppy Classes

Our puppy classes are designed for puppies under 20 weeks of age at the start of the course. Puppies can join as soon as their vaccination course has been completed.

This 6-week course builds the foundations for a well-mannered, confident dog. Classes focus on learning through fun and structured games, while helping puppies gain social confidence with people and other dogs in a controlled environment.

Our puppy classes follow the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme, working towards the Puppy Foundation Award and preparing for the Bronze Award.

Course length: 6 weeks

Cost: £75

Adolescent classes

For dogs over 20 weeks and under 1 year old, continuing to build focus, reliability, manners and confidence during the teenage phase.

Adult classes

Puppy agility Play

Our Sunday morning Puppy Agility Play sessions are a relaxed and fun opportunity for young dogs to build confidence, coordination and social skills in a safe environment.

Open to puppies under one year old, these non-competitive sessions allow dogs to explore a suitable selection of agility equipment at their own pace, with guidance and support from our experienced trainers.

Please Note: These sessions are open to dogs currently enrolled in our Puppy or Adolescent classes.

Sundays: 10am – 11am

Cost: £5 per session (pay on the day)

Adult Agility

Our adult agility classes are a fun, non-competitive way to enjoy training together. Classes are mixed ability, with dogs working on or off lead depending on confidence.

All breeds are welcome, and exercises are adapted to suit individual dogs. Some fly around the course, others take it steady — all are encouraged and supported in a positive, pressure-free environment.

Course length: 8 weeks
