Ep263 - What makes a puppy class great? [Puppies 101]

Panos and Luke break down what truly makes a great puppy class. From choosing an experienced trainer to understanding the importance of environment, structure, and socialisation, they share insights from years of hands-on experience working with puppies and their owners.

They discuss how to tailor group sessions to individual dogs, why having a calm adult dog in class can accelerate learning, and how to strike the right balance between free play and focus.

Whether you’re a new puppy owner or a trainer wanting to refine your approach, this episode is packed with practical advice to help set young dogs—and their humans—up for long-term success.
