Dog Obedience Training -location
For the foreseeable future, while we live with the social distancing rules, dog obedience training for dogs over 6 months of age will be offered as home visits only. Please see the Home Visits page.
Dog Obedience Training
The course is fun and enjoyable for you and your dog. It is a structured course, each week progressing from the previous week. Therefore, it is important to attend all the classes so that you and your dog benefit from the course. If you do have to miss a class, I am willing to do a “catch-up” session at your home, for a charge of £20.
At the end of each class, comprehensive handouts are given detailing all exercises covered in the class and the methods of training, to use as an aide memoir when training your dog during the week, so that your dog is ready for the next class.
The dog training course compromises of reward-based methods, and covers basic training, tips, and advice including:
