Puppy Classes in New Eltham
Aspire Dog Training runs small-group puppy classes at C.A.N.E Community Centre, New Eltham Library on Friday evenings — enrichment-led, force-free and deliberately kept small.
I'm John, an ABTC registered Animal Training Instructor (ATI). These classes are designed for puppy owners who want more than a standard obedience course — owners who want to understand their puppy, not just manage them.

What We Cover
Each week builds on the last, covering the foundations every puppy needs:
Controlled socialisation in a calm, supportive environment
Settle and impulse control
Sit, down, stay, leave it and drop
Early loose lead walking and recall groundwork
Enrichment activities including find it, retrieve games and tug
Puppy biting, jumping up and common puppy challenges
Why These Classes Are Different
Class sizes are kept small because puppies learn better when they're not overwhelmed. The environment is calm and low-pressure. And rather than just teaching commands, we focus on why behaviours happen and what your puppy actually needs — because when those needs are met, training becomes something your puppy actively enjoys.
Recommended by local veterinary practices in the New Eltham and Sidcup area.
Who These Classes Are For
Puppies who are excitable, sensitive, easily distracted or simply brand new — and owners who want to get it right from the start. If you're not sure whether your puppy is ready, just get in touch before booking.
