Puppy School done differently.
More than sit and stay — North Paw Puppy School run by Jade Morley is built around your puppy's emotional and behavioural development, giving them the foundations for a calm, confident life.
Why North Paw
Not your average
puppy school.
Most puppy classes focus on basic obedience — sit, drop, stay. North Paw Puppy School goes deeper. Every class is built around your puppy's emotional and behavioural development, because a puppy who learns to feel calm, safe, and confident is one who is far less likely to develop reactivity, anxiety, or behaviour problems later on.
Jade brings a university-trained, behaviourist-led approach to every class — the kind of education usually reserved for private behaviour consultations, made accessible from day one.
The course covers socialisation, toilet training, mouthing, settling, confidence building, general obedience, and real life skills — everything you need to set your puppy up for life.

On the day
What to expect
Arrive at Vets on Falcon, Crows Nest with your pup on lead. Each class starts with some free exploration time so puppies can sniff, settle, and feel comfortable before learning begins.
Jade walks you through each skill step by step — you practise with your puppy in real time, with guidance tailored to your individual pup. No talking at you from the front of the room.
Each week you'll leave with a clear summary of what you covered and simple exercises to practise at home — so the learning continues between classes, not just in the hour.

Frequently asked
Puppies must be between 8 and 16 weeks old at the time of the first class. This is the critical socialisation window — the best possible time to build positive associations with the world.
Not to worry! This happens and there is nothing wrong with your puppy — we will adjust the setting or if your puppy needs to go home, we will provide you with some 1-on-1 guidance.
Class sizes are intentionally small, with no more than 5 puppies in each, so every puppy and owner gets meaningful attention. You won't be lost in a crowd of 20 dogs.
