Frequently asked questions:

  • Here’s your little checklist:

    • A flat collar or/and a well-fitting harness

    • A regular leash (no flexis /retractable leashes—they turn walkies into chaos)

    • Your pup’s favorite toy (no bouncy balls, please—something to chew or tug is great)

    • A small blanket for puppy chill time

    • Water for humans.

    • Small treats

  • Yes, please! If you're raising the dog together, it's best when everyone’s on the same page. Partner, roommate, dog-loving grandma - if you live together, they’re welcome to join at no extra cost.

  • Yes - especially for private lessons!


    For group lessons, one child per family is welcome, as long as they can let the puppy take the spotlight. If your kiddo is super curious and hands-on, we’ve got a special kids & dogs course they’ll love!

  • We trust that you’ll follow your vet’s advice and do what feels right for your puppy. Our training space is clean, safe, and carefully managed - and we welcome puppies even if they’re still in the middle of their vaccination schedule. Early socialization is important, and we make sure it happens in a thoughtful and protected environment.

  • Our group lessons are small and personal - max 4 dogs. This way, everyone gets attention, and the puppies have enough space to feel safe while learning and playing.

  • Our Puppy Package is designed especially for the tiniest pups during their early development phase. But don’t worry! If your dog is over 6 months, we recommend our 6-lessons group course for young and adult dogs or private lessons—both are great options to keep learning going strong.

  • Yes, absolutely! If she’s in heat, she’s still welcome to join. We just ask that you bring doggy panties if she’s bleeding, to keep the space clean for everyone.
    It’s a natural part of growing up, and we’re happy to talk about what it means for your dog, how to protect her in social settings, and what to be aware of. It’s a great chance to learn together.

  • Perfect - we love all personalities! Group sizes are small, and we adapt to every pup’s needs. And don’t worry, you’ll have a private session too where we can focus on exactly what matters most for your little one.

  • Yes! Rain, shine, or snow—we’ve got you covered.


    Our beautiful indoor training space is cozy and calm, perfect for puppy play and learning. We may step outside briefly for leash practice, but your pup stays safe and dry most of the time.

  • Absolutely. You’re welcome to arrive by car - there’s free parking right in front of the Volg shop. Just pull into one of the spots and come on in!

  • Life happens - we get it! You can reschedule lessons with 48 hours’ notice.
