Puppy rumble!
Drop in Puppy Social Classes run in North London, Ontario
Where puppies learn how to dog
A drop-in or rotating program for puppies aged 8–24 weeks, focused on building confidence, social skills, and early training foundations. Each week will have a different focus to build confident and resilient puppies.
We work on:
Play skills and appropriate interactions
Recall foundations
Leash exposure
Learning how to exist around other dogs and people
This is not about obedience. It’s about helping your puppy feel safe, curious, and capable in the world.
For puppies up to 6 month in age
Note: If your puppy is fearful or struggling around other dogs, reach out before joining so we can set them up for success.

The Polished Pooch
Where those skills become reliable.
An intermediate class for dogs who already have foundational skills and are ready to build more fluency, reliability, and real-world application.
This course focuses on helping dogs stay thoughtful and connected while working through increased distractions, longer durations, and more advanced handling skills. We continue building clear communication, engagement, and practical obedience skills that carry over into everyday life.
This course will build on:
Loose leash walking around distractions
Sit, down, and mat duration
Recall and engagement skills
Cooperative handling
Impulse control and calm decision-making
Working together through more advanced movement skills
If your dog knows the basics but struggles to apply them consistently, this is your next step. This is where things start to come together.
Not sure if classes are the right fit?
Group classes are best suited for dogs who are able to work in a shared space with other dogs and people nearby.
If your dog is:
reactive toward people or dogs
extremely nervous or easily overwhelmed
or has a history of aggression
I’d recommend reaching out before registering so we can make sure you’re set up in the right environment for success.
You can email info@ladywithdogs.com or book a phone consultation if you’d like to chat things through.
A quick note on socialization
Early, positive exposure to new environments, people, and experiences plays a big role in raising a confident, well-adjusted dog.
Well-run group classes can be a valuable part of that process when they are structured, thoughtful, and appropriate for the individual dog.
