GROUP CLASSES
These are suitable for dogs who do not suffer from aggression issues towards people or dogs but need to learn focus on handlers and the correct social skills. Our beginners classes run every Saturday (9.30am-10.30am). More advanced classes run on Saturday mornings from 11am.
Classes are payable in block of 5 or 10 consecutive weeks (the latter will give you a free 11th session). There is no specific start date as we run classes on a rolling basis so you may start whenever suits you. You may do as few or as many blocks as you wish, some customers even return every few weeks to top up their training skills or simply to spend quality time with their dog and like-minded people.
Our classes are a mixture of basic obedience, tricks, agility, gundog, scentwork and other dog sports to ensure every owner and dog finds an activity that will help them bond and progress on their training journey. Every lesson will include at least one of the 3 critical skills needed for day to day life: loose lead walking, recall, and stay.
Our large fenced off field allows us to practice in complete safety and gives each team plenty of room to train at their own pace with increasing levels of distraction as their skills improve.
We encourage everyone to come and have a chat before joining to get a better idea of the class format and discuss specific goals. If you would like to pop down please

ONE TO ONE BEHAVIOURAL CONSULTATIONS AT HOME
These are suitable for single or multiple dog households and several issues can be covered during the session. During the 1.5/2 hours session I will gather some information and observe the dog(s) before making recommendations which will then be confirmed by email. These sessions are normally recommended for behavioural issues such as aggression, nuisance barking, separation anxiety and any issues that may not be resolved by attending our sessions at the training field.
These sessions are also suitable for owners a new puppy or newly adopted rescue dog to ensure life in your household starts in the best way possible. It is easier to create good habits from the beginning than trying to fix them later!
The price for the initial consultation starts at £80 depending location and any required follow ups start at £50. Visits are tailored around you and can generally be carried out during the day or late afternoon.
ONE TO ONE TRAINING LESSONS AT OUR SECURE FIELD
These are suitable for training issues such as recall, pulling on the lead, lack of focus and specific training goals that a person would like to achieve with their dog.
These are also suitable for owners who cannot attend group sessions but would like to train in an enclosed area at flexible times.
The cost is £30 for half an hour and £50 for an hour.
