Puppy Classes Widnes
Give Your Puppy the Best Start
Looking for friendly, positive puppy classes in Widnes?
At 24/7 Dog Training, our puppy classes are designed to help you build a confident, well-mannered companion using kind, reward-based training methods. Whether you’ve just welcomed your first puppy or need a little extra guidance, our small group classes provide the support, coaching and practical skills you need to enjoy life together.
Classes take place at Willow Meadow Dog Park in Widnes, a fully secure, fenced dog park which is perfect for puppies who need a safe, distraction-controlled space to learn without the risk of traffic or off-lead dogs wandering in.
Why Train at Willow Meadow Dog Park?
Willow Meadow’s enclosed fields give us something a normal park can’t: complete control over the environment. That means:
• No unexpected off-lead dogs bursting in mid-exercise.
• No traffic or road access to worry about.
• A calm, secure space that’s ideal for nervous or easily-overwhelmed puppies.
• Room to properly practise recall, safely, from week one.
It’s a genuinely excellent setting for puppy training — safe enough for confidence-building, spacious enough for proper distraction work.
What Will My Puppy Learn?
Our classes focus on real-life skills that make everyday life easier, rather than simply teaching tricks.
During the course you’ll learn how to:
• Build your puppy’s attention and focus around distractions.
• Teach a reliable recall.
• Walk nicely on a loose lead.
• Prevent jumping up at people.
• Encourage calm behaviour around visitors.
• Teach your puppy to settle and relax.
• Build confidence in new environments.
• Improve handling for the vet and groomer.
• Teach useful skills such as leave, drop and wait.
• Understand how puppies learn so you can continue training confidently at home.
Every exercise is designed to be practical, fun and achievable, giving you the confidence to continue your puppy’s training long after the course has finished.
What Happens at Classes?
Each session begins with a demonstration of the exercises before you and your puppy have the opportunity to practise together.
I’ll then spend time with each owner individually, offering guidance, answering questions and helping you adapt the exercises to suit your puppy.
Every puppy has their own dedicated training station with plenty of space between attendees, creating a calm learning environment where puppies can focus without becoming overwhelmed — made even easier by the secure, enclosed setting at Willow Meadow.
There is no pressure to be perfect. Every puppy learns at their own pace, and the aim is to make training enjoyable for both ends of the lead.
Why Choose 24/7 Dog Training?
✔ Small class sizes for individual attention.
✔ Positive, reward-based training methods backed by modern behavioural science.
✔ A secure, fully enclosed training field — no traffic, no surprise dogs.
✔ Friendly, supportive coaching throughout the course.
✔ Practical skills for everyday family life.
✔ Plenty of opportunities to ask questions and receive personalised advice.
My goal isn’t just to teach your puppy—it’s to help you understand your puppy so you can enjoy a lifetime of learning together.

Frequently Asked Questions
When can my puppy start?
As soon as your puppy has completed their vaccinations and your vet has advised they can safely attend classes.
What should I bring?
Bring plenty of tasty treats, your puppy’s regular lead and harness, a blanket or mat, water and anything your puppy enjoys chewing during breaks.
Is Willow Meadow Dog Park safe for puppies?
Yes — it’s a fully enclosed, securely fenced field, which makes it one of the safest possible settings for puppy training. There’s no traffic and no risk of loose dogs wandering in.
How many puppies are in each class?
We deliberately keep our classes small so every puppy and owner receives plenty of individual support.
What if my puppy is nervous?
That’s absolutely fine. Many puppies need time to build confidence. We never force interactions and always work at your puppy’s pace — and the secure, quiet setting at Willow Meadow really helps nervous puppies settle in.

Here’s what one Widnes puppy Owner had to say about our classes and 1-2-1 home visits
“We have used Ali both for group puppy life skills training and her 1:1 new puppy visit. When having a brand new puppy felt completely overwhelming and we were questioning everything, Ali came to our home and reassured and advised us. We learnt so much from her. She has such an amazing way with the dogs and demonstrates how to put her knowledge into action with your own pup. The classes were enjoyable and a lovely bonding experience for us and our puppy and have laid a brilliant foundation for us to work on with training. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ali and we hope to do some more advanced training with her in the future.”
