Cockapoo Training Classes
Suffolk's Only Cockapoo Training Class
Is your Cockapoo full of beans, bouncing off the walls, or impossible to settle - no matter how many miles you walk?
Or maybe you’ve tried all the advice out there, and every week your Cockapoo seems to rewrite the rule book?
These classes are designed for your Cockapoo’s unique mix, energy, and spark, so you can finally stop guessing and start enjoying life with a dog who’s genuinely understood.
Forget “one-size-fits-all” training. This is real-world help for real Cockapoos, with proven techniques, hands-on support, and results you’ll notice at home and out on walks.
Cockapoos are clever, cuddly, and bursting with personality - but that unique mix of Poodle smarts and Spaniel sparkle can lead to some real-life training challenges. That’s where we come in.
Our Cockapoo Classes are designed specifically for the breed’s quirks, energy levels, and emotional needs - helping you build a calm, confident, and well-mannered companion.
It doesn’t matter if your dog is a Poodle x Spaniel or Cockapoo x Cockapoo - they’re all welcome, everything we do is designed for every Cockapoo mix.
"Your Cockapoo isn’t ‘too much’ — they just need training that understands them."
Who These Classes Are For:
- First-time Cockapoo owners
- Guardians of excitable, anxious, or over-the-top dogs
- Those struggling with pulling, barking, recall, or focus
- Anyone wondering why “more exercise” just doesn’t seem to help
- People who feel like they’ve tried everything and still aren’t being heard
- Anyone who wants to train with kindness, not control
- Whether your Cockapoo is Poodle x Spaniel, Cockapoo x Cockapoo, or you’ve no idea what’s in the mix - you’re welcome here.
Whether you’re just starting out or your Cockapoo needs a reset, our classes help bridge the gap between frustration and focus — using fun, ethical training that fits into real life.
What We Cover
- Focus and engagement skills (even when the nose takes over)
- Calmness in real situations (doorbells, visitors, & busy spaces)
- Confidence building through play (searches & brain gaimes)
- Recall games that actually work (for spaniel ears and poodle independence)
- Lead walking foundations (for energetic & excitable Cockapoos)
- Settling indoors and out (for busy minds & restless bodies)
- Socialisation confidence (with less jumping & barking)
- Impulse control and emotional regulation (handling zoomies & over excitement)
- Grooming and handling (made easier)
- Breed specific needs (for every mix of Cockapoo)
This is more than obedience. It’s the foundation for a well-adjusted, happy Cockapoo. Everything we teach is hands-on, using positive games and real-life practice. You’ll learn exactly how to achieve these results in class, with take-home guides so you can keep making progress at home.

What Our Students Say
The Cockerpoo classes were excellent. Tracy made the classes fun for me and my dog (Freddie) but at the same time they helped both of us to understand what each other needed to know about the training. 😀. "
"We have been taking Arthur, our Cockapoo, to Dogwarts K9 Academy for the last 5 months. Every single session has been fantastic. The sessions are well planned, always lots of fun (for us and Arthur!) and always build on the skills and games worked on in previous sessions. We can't recommend Dogwarts K9 Academy enough - great classes, great teacher and most importantly, Arthur absolutely loves it :-)"
"Really fun way to train your dog using games. Most importantly it works!! 4 sessions in and the difference is remarkable."

Prefer Flexibility? Try Our Pay As You Go Cockapoo Option
We know not every Cockapoo guardian can commit to a 6-week course - and that’s okay.
Our Pay As You Go option is perfect for those with busy schedules, dogs that need shorter commitments, or anyone who wants to ease into group training before deciding whether to stick with it.
You’ll join the same class as our full-course students - with the same content, the same guidance, and the same playful learning atmosphere - just without the full block booking.
Why PAYG Might Work for You:
✅ Life’s hectic - this lets you still attend quality training, without full commitment
✅ You’re not sure how your Cockapoo will cope in a group yet
✅ You want to dip a paw in before deciding on a full block
✅ You need more flexibility around work, kids, or commitments
💡 PLEASE NOTE: PAYG places are strictly limited and only available until the session reaches maximum capacity. Once full, the date disappears from the booking system. To secure your place, we recommend booking your preferred dates in advance.
Same Class Time: Tuesdays at 6-7pmpm

Tracy Hancock
Welcome to Dogwarts K9 Academy — where stressed-out dog parents finally overcome training struggles and fall back in love with their dogs through pressure-free, fun techniques that deliver real, lasting results.
While I help dogs of all breeds, I specialise in Cockapoos and cases of reactivity and anxiety — supporting these sensitive pups and their guardians to transform challenging behaviours into calm confidence.
When you work with me, you get the kind of training your dog would choose if they could pick — because my approach teaches you to truly understand your dog, speak their language, and uncover the real meaning behind their behaviour. This creates an unbreakable bond of trust that unlocks incredible progress — results that don’t just meet expectations, they surpass them.
I never use aversive methods or intimidation — you can trust that your training will always be judgement-free, pressure-free, and fear-free. Instead, I teach fun, engaging techniques your dog relates to and enjoys, putting the joy back into your training sessions and making your results truly unstoppable.
Together, we break it all down — discovering your dog’s go-to responses, uncovering hidden triggers (which might surprise you), and rebuilding hope and harmony into your lives.
From Cockapoos who struggle with reactivity and anxiety, to dogs of all breeds facing noise sensitivity, separation issues, lead reactivity, and more, I’ve helped countless dogs reshaped and rebuild their emotional wellbeing. Through our compassionate approach, we help your dog live with less anxiety or reactivity so they can experience more adventures with you by their side.
