Puppy socialisation in Stoke-On-Trent

Does anybody have any recomendations for puppy classes in or near Stoke-On_Trent?

I am going to meet our potential rescue puppy on Tuesday and she is currently 4 months old. Our last rescue dog was 4 when we had her and she did not get on with other dogs at all. I don't want this to happen with the new addition (not least of all because she will be 3 times the size of the last one

)

I intend to expose her to as many new experiences as possible (I have 4 children plus nieces and nephews so kids won't be an issue, also looking at traffic, adults, police officers plus anybody else I can come into contact with) I want to try and get the interaction with other dogs done as well as I possibly can.

I am pretty sure that I can find adverts in the local petshop and online for classes but was looking for some personal recomendations if possible.

Sorry I don't know of any personally in your area, maybe someone who lives near or around you will be able to help.

Hi

, I live in S-O-T too, my sister used to take her dogs to classes in Mow Cop and she highly recommended the guy but it was a while ago and she can't remember the contact details.....maybe a good google might pay off with that one.
The only other class that I have heard others mention is in Bagnall, I can't recommend this class personally as i've not used it but thought it may be of use to you.

I took my GSD to Trentham Dog School. Su Harvey, the owner and one of the experienced trainers, has GSD's herself. There are a variety of classes for all ages and abilities. Su did have her favourites (obviously the GSDs). Mine was very timid and would hide and wet herself, but she has gained confidence with new people and other dogs and even though I've had GSD's before then I learnt so much. Have a look at the website.
