CLASSES & TRAINING
We offer a full range of dog training classes to suit the individual requirements of your pet, as well as private lessons.
These classes are available to dogs of all ages, from puppies (once fully vaccinated) to the older dog. Small, specialist groups focus upon management and include pet dog training, socialisation, aggression management and the ever-popular agility.
We believe that the way to show your dog how to behave is through kindness, fun and patience. We do not allow the use of punitive training methods or equipment such as choke chains. To ensure that you receive the maximum benefit, class numbers are restricted to eight (unless otherwise stated).
Aggressive dogs are not accepted into any class other than Social Skills Class, which is designed to help them overcome their problem.

Classes are held outdoors whenever possible to ensure that your dog learns to listen to you with all the distractions of being outside, and as we are based in a rural, farm setting there will be plenty going on!
So come along if you want to teach your dog in an environment where you can both enjoy yourselves and learn at the same time. Please telephone if you would like to book a place for you and your dog.
All classes are an hour per week.
