Have you got a dog that you would like to become a
well mannered companion, that is calm in the house,
walks nicely on the lead, comes back when you call
it and plays nicely with other dogs?
We can help you to achieve these goals with your
dog in a controlled environment.
We take a maximum of six dogs in each class to
ensure that we can give each team individual
attention as well as making sure that the play is
supervised to prevent any bullying or aggression.
Please note: These classes are not designed to deal
with major behaviour problems such as aggression,
guarding, etc.
These problems will have to be addressed in an
individual or behaviour session first. This is to
gain some control over the dog before exposing him
or her to the full distractions of a class session.
If you are not sure if your dog is suitable for
this class, please give us a ring on 01603 611 184
so we can discuss it further.
Each lesson last an hour. The course fee is £65 / 6 weeks
Course Dates:
The next courses will start in September 2008.
This course is designed for older puppies or dogs that have missed out on the early learning stages. It will help your dog to become a good companion who is easy to live with.
These classes improve your dog's communication skills through socialisation and training.
Exercises:
In this seven week course we will explain and guide you and your dog through the basic exercises:
- Walking on the lead
- Coming when called
- Greeting people without jumping up
- Sit
- Down
- Stay
- Watch me
- Leaving food
- Getting used to handling, grooming and Vet treatments
- To play with their owners
- To play fair with other puppies
- To settle and calm down after an exciting play or exercise
In addition to these exercises and controlled play rounds we will also help you to understand and overcome some of the problem behaviours with your dog such as mouthing, chewing, house training, etc.
Methods:
The approach we promote is motivating the dog and building an affectionate relationship between the dog and its owner. We use the most advanced, scientifically proven, kind and effective, training, handling, and communication techniques such as Lure- Reward and Clicker Training.
Suitable for:
This service suits dogs of any age in need of basic obedience training or to re-enforce obedience exercises by practicing them in the company of other dogs and their owners.
Children are most welcome to accompany their parents but please make sure it is always only one person training the puppy at a time to avoid confusion.
There will be a maximum of 6 dogs in each class to ensure quality of training, personal attention and socialisation.
Please note: These classes are not designed to deal with major behaviour problems such as Aggression! These issues would need to be addressed in an individual or behaviour session first to gain some control before bringing the dog to the classes!
What to bring:
Your dog should wear preferably a harness or a plain collar, please no choke collars!
Please bring some of the dog's normal food as well as some tasty treats with you.
The dog's bed or a blanket to help him to relax and settle in the class
