Dog socialisation classes in Manchester & North West
Join our socialisation classes at SLADE-K9 – helping you to provide positive structures and boundaries
At Slade K9, we offer engaging dog socialisation classes in Manchester and the wider North West for puppies, rescue dogs and adult dogs of all breeds. These group training sessions are designed to help your dog develop calm, confident behaviour in new environments while improving their focus and responsiveness around other dogs and people.
Whether you’re working on puppy training, addressing behaviour problems or just want to boost your dog’s social skills, our sessions provide the expert guidance and structure to support long-term success.
Why socialisation is essential for dogs
A well-socialised dog is a confident, happy companion. Without early exposure to different situations, many dogs can develop unwanted behaviours such as reactivity, anxiety or excessive barking.
Our structured group classes help your dog:
- Learn how to interact calmly with other dogs.
- Improve behaviour around people and distractions.
- Reduce fear or nervousness in new environments.
- Prepare for advanced obedience or puppy training courses.
These sessions are ideal for dogs of all ages – from young puppies to adult rescue dogs.
What to expect from our dog socialisation classes
Led by our experienced trainers, our dog socialisation classes are held in safe, controlled environments and tailored to your dog’s age and temperament.
Each session includes:
- Supervised group exercises and structured play.
- Exposure to different sights, sounds and surface.
- Guidance on handling techniques and behaviour management.
- Support for addressing behaviour issues like overexcitement or fear.
- Our goal is to build positive associations that help your dog remain calm and well-mannered in any situation.
Puppy socialisation classes
Getting your puppy off to the right start is critical. Our puppy socialisation classes focus on:
- Positive early experiences with other dogs and people.
- Learning basic manners and commands.
- Preventing future behaviour problems.
- Building resilience and confidence.
We also offer advice on house training, teething and crate training as part of our puppy courses.
Nurturing well-behaved companions
Socialisation classes for dogs offer a valuable service in promoting positive behaviour and well-rounded development among our furry friends. These dog training classes provide a structured environment where dogs can interact with their peers under the guidance of experienced trainers.
Tailored to accommodate various breeds and temperaments, these sessions aim to enhance social skills and etiquette. Dog owners can also benefit from the shared experiences of fellow enthusiasts, making it a community-building opportunity.
Overall, these classes contribute to the development of well-behaved and socially adept dogs, strengthening a stronger bond between pets and their owners.

“Sarah has been fantastic with our puppy, so helpful, reliable and professional. Our dog adores her. Would recommend training, walks and dog sitting to anyone. After being let down by another service she stepped in, took the time to get to know our dog, helped her with her anxiousness and really is setting her up for a happy dog life.”
