Classes
are for the family and are designed to be both fun, informal and
informative. Training can be started at any age,
but the sooner the socialisation process starts
the better. Classes should be fun, both for you
and your dog, as well as exercising the mind and reinforcing relationships.
Owners are
encouraged to ask questions wherever necessary, so that they achieve as
much as possible from each class. We offer a wide range of courses
for dogs of all abilities, from puppies to adult dogs,
you decide how far you want to go with your pet. Having
the resources of a qualified trainer and classmates can be very useful,
with the added benefit of being able to socialise your dog and teach your
pet how to interact with other dogs under controlled, 'safe' conditions.
PLEASE NOTE: Classes,
Workshops and One-to-One Training sessions are not suitable for
dogs that show aggression towards people or dogs!!
Please contact the office (or follow the
link above - 'Pet Behaviour') if you are experiencing any behaviour
problems with your pet! |
