Group Classes
Whether you and your dog would like to learn the basics or perfect your skills, there’s a group dog training class to suit you.
Beginners Dog Training Courses
Using highly effective, reward based methods, we’ll learn a host of important techniques including recall, loose lead walking, settling in public, sit, stay, leave, socialisation, focus and manners around visitors. Check course content in the list below to find the right one for you.
Group sizes are kept small to make sure that this is a supportive environment where each pup and their owner is able to learn at their own pace. In addition to the training, we’ll cover lots of important skills that every dog owner should know including how to understand your dog’s body language.
