Intermediate & Puppy Grad Life Skills Class

This class is for those who have had some puppy or beginner training previously and want to move onto the next level. Focusing on developing those life skills and tightening up your cues, these classes will help improve your dog’s impulse control and help you to understand how your dog learns. The sessions will help you develop your relationship with your dog as you also gain more of an insight into what your dog is trying to tell you. The class is a six-week course packed full of fun and activity.
Class numbers are kept small to make sure the training environment is conducive to everyone's learning. Please get in touch to register for the next class.

Advanced Life Skills Class

For those who have completed the Intermediate & Puppy Grad Course and want to continue life-skills training. With this class, we aim to continue to build on life skills and cues and aim to go out and about in public, building distractions. We look at how play can build your relationship with your dog and start to delve a little deeper into scentwork. Please get in touch to register your interest for the next class.
