Little Foundations — Puppy Classes in Walthamstow

January 2027 enquiries are open

Our next Little Foundations puppy course in Walthamstow is planned for January 2027. This very interactive four-week course takes place across different venues, helping you and your puppy practise together in a variety of real-life settings.

Register your interest now and Anu will share the confirmed dates, venues and booking details when they are ready.

A thoughtful beginning for you and your puppy

Small, supportive classes help you understand your puppy, build practical skills and develop confidence together. We focus on recall, lead skills, handling, settling and positive experiences, using force-free, reward-based methods.

Each puppy has space to observe and time to learn at their own pace. You’ll leave with exercises to practise in everyday life.

What we cover over 4 weeks

Each week builds on the last, with time for questions and individual support.

Foundations include:

  • Focus and engagement around distractions

  • Calm greetings and polite behaviour

  • Handling, grooming and vet-prep skills

  • Confidence building and body awareness

  • Settle and calm behaviours

  • Recall foundations and lead skills

  • Understanding puppy behaviour, not just cues

You’ll also learn how to read your puppy, manage arousal, and support them as they grow.

What makes these classes different?

    • Small groups with individual support
    • A very interactive four-week course across different venues
    • Reward-based training shaped around each puppy
    • A behaviour and history questionnaire before the course
    • Practical guidance for owners before, during and after sessions

    The January venues and full arrangements will be confirmed before booking.

Who These Classes Are For

✔ Puppies who need confidence around new environments

If you’re unsure whether group classes are right for your puppy, I’m always happy to advise.

How puppies are prepared

Before joining the class:

  • Owners complete a puppy behaviour & history questionnaire

  • I review this and prepare a brief overview for each puppy

  • I speak to owners in advance to explain the programme and class rules

  • Puppies must be up to date with vaccinations appropriate for their age

This helps keep everyone safe, relaxed and supported.
