Puppy Classes

This class sets you off on the right track with your new puppy, in addition to training, its packed with information for new owners.

The practical side of the course covers a number of core behaviours including; loose lead walking, recall, focus on handler, confidence building and basic safety exercises.

* Appreciating that not all new owners have a puppy, some classes are also open to older dogs, so please get in touch via the free 15 minute consultation option, to discuss the best option for your puppy/dog. All class content will be pitched to each individual dogs capability.

Plan ahead, pre book and receive extra support before you bring your puppy home, see Puppy Preparation

 

Adolescent Dog Classes

Once you reach the end of your puppy class, you can continue building on your foundation training,  to help create muscle memory, by rehearsing desired behaviours whilst also advancing your existing skills.

You can also attend this class if your dog is between 6 months and 2 years old.

 

Advanced Classes

Progression to Advanced classes are by invitation only, to ensure those attending have attained the skills required to progress, and understand the methods of training used.

If your previous training has been attained elsewhere, a quick conversation/assessment will be all that’s needed to make sure you understand the methods of training and that the puppy/dog has completed the requisite skills to participate in this class.
