Puppy Training in Frome

Build Strong Foundations From the Very Beginning

Welcoming a puppy into your family is exciting, rewarding and sometimes a little overwhelming. Those first weeks and months are an important time for building confidence, developing good habits and creating a strong relationship with your puppy.

At FromeK9, our experienced trainers and behaviourists will help you understand your puppy and develop the practical skills you need as they grow. Our training is reward based, supportive and enjoyable for both you and your puppy.

Every puppy attending our six-week group course follows the Royal Kennel Club Puppy Foundation programme as part of their training. On successful completion, you will receive a Royal Kennel Club Puppy Foundation certificate and rosette at no additional charge. Your puppy does not need to be registered with the Royal Kennel Club to take part.

Why Early Puppy Training Matters

Your puppy starts learning from the moment they arrive home. Positive early training helps establish good habits, builds confidence and gives you the skills to guide them consistently as they grow.

Early puppy training can help with:

Focus and engagement

Recall and loose-lead walking

Calm behaviour and settling

Confidence around people and dogs

Confidence in new environments

Biting, chewing and jumping up

Handling and grooming

Establishing useful routines

Most importantly, training helps you and your puppy understand and communicate with one another.

Puppy Training Built Around Your Puppy

Every puppy is an individual. Breed, temperament, previous experiences and home environment can all influence how they learn.
Our instructors adapt training to the puppy in front of them rather than applying the same approach to every dog. Classes are friendly, supportive and informative, giving you the confidence and practical skills to continue training successfully at home.
No previous dog-training experience is needed - we are here to help you both learn.

Our 6-Week Puppy Training Course

Our six-week puppy training course introduces the essential skills your puppy needs for everyday family life.

You and your puppy attend a one-hour class each week for six consecutive weeks. Classes run throughout the year in our enclosed training field or indoor training barn.

Our courses currently run on Mondays at 1.20pm or Wednesdays at 6pm.

Who Can Join Our Puppy Classes

Our puppy classes are suitable for all breeds and sizes.

Puppies can usually join from around 12 weeks of age, once they have received the vaccinations required for group training. Please follow your veterinary practice's advice about when your puppy is ready to attend.
Class numbers are limited so our instructors can give puppies and their owners plenty of individual support.

Continue Training as Your Puppy Grows

Training does not need to stop after your first six weeks. At the end of the course, your instructor will recommend the best next step. You may continue in the same class or progress into another FromeK9 training activity. Options include general dog training and life skills, agility, Hoopers, scentwork and individual training.

1-2-1 puppy training is available from eight weeks to nine months of age and can be booked instead of, before or alongside a group course.

Your puppy does not need to be fully vaccinated. Sessions can take place in a quiet, clean and controlled area, allowing training to begin before your puppy is ready for group classes.

Tash Moss – £60
Cheryl Blake MBIPDT – £70

Feeding and diet

Crate training
