Indoor Puppy Training classes in Aberdeen

~Give your puppy the best start in life by joining an expert-led puppy training class. Learn how to communicate with your puppy and understand their needs to ensure they grow into the best canine companion~

This is where my passion lies. I believe in prevention rather than cure - helping you raise a confident, emotionally resilient, and secure puppy from the very beginning.

These classes go beyond sit-stay and recall. We focus on laying long-term foundations that reduce the risk of future behaviour issues by teaching your puppy how to settle calmly in a new location, cope with frustration, and navigate new experiences with confidence. Everything we do supports their journey to becoming a well-adjusted companion.

My classes are a great fit for people who want to understand their puppy, not just control them. These aren't 'obedience' classes - they're designed to ensure your puppy feels safe and emotionally supported to strengthen their confidence and emotional resilience and continue to allow their relationship with you to be built on trust, communication and respect.

If you're curious, open to learning, and ready to build a strong, trusting relationship with your dog, you'll fit right in here.

Important: Puppies need some basic readiness to benefit from this class. If your puppy struggles to settle at home, is extremely over-excited, or is wary of people and/or dogs, this class may be challenging. Get in touch to ask about your puppy's suitability and if I can ready them for the class environment in 1:1 sessions.

Bonding: Spending time with your dog in class can help you understand their personality and how to train them.
Identify behaviour issues: Early intervention can help identify and address potential issues.
Improve your relationship with your dog: Puppy classes can help you learn to understand and responsibly manage your dog's behavior.

6 week block of Puppy Classes

Investment: £160

A weekly one-hour class packed with useful information, hints, and tips to help with common puppy issues
Classes are held indoors with seating, toilets and wheelchair accessibility.
All training is simply explained to ensure you understand not only how to train but why what you are learning is relevant
Only kind, force-free, and positive reinforcement methods are used.
Puppies who are calm in the presence of others are welcome
Family members can join also - I encourage you to take children along so they can see how much fun training is!
To help you get the most out of each session, you’ll have access to a short video library and clear written guidance for every exercise we teach. These are shared before each class, and I ask that you have a go at the exercises at home first. This means when you arrive at class, you’ll already be familiar with the exercises, allowing us to spend class time practising, refining, and supporting you and your puppy — rather than sitting and listening.
All exercises are easily adapted depending on either your or your puppy's learning ability
A fun, supportive, and enjoyable learning environment - puppy training should be rewarding for both you and your puppy

Classes are held in Dunbar Hall, Old Aberdeen, AB24 3 UJ which is conveniently located for those living in the city centre of Aberdeen and just a short drive away for those travelling from the shire. With free, on-street parking and a spacious hall, it is the perfect location for beginning your training journey with your puppy.

Enroll in my 6 week course and give your puppy the perfect start. Each one-hour session focuses on positive reinforcement techniques using food and toys as a reward to equip your dog with the essential life skills they will need. Ideal for puppies aged 10 weeks (with at least their first vaccination) to 18 weeks, I focus on creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where your puppy can learn and socialise, and grow into a well-behaved and confident companion.

Important: puppies must be comfortable around others. If you think your puppy will struggle in a class environment, please get in touch.

Grant & Odin

Excellent training by Erinn for our pup Odin - he’s more obedient and tolerant thanks to the tips given to us during our evening’s training sessions. Thank you Erinn!

Gillian & Marley

Highly recommend Erinn and her puppy classes. She is very passionate that pups have the best start and that passion comes through all the time. Marley loved Erinn and the class too. Thanks Erinn, we had a blast!

Ginger & Remi

The classes with All Dogs Go To Erinn really helped my wee Remi come out of his shell and get a bit more confidence, and we love working on our training games together.
