Our current classes started on 12th August.
Our next classes will start on 14th October and are bookable below.
Have you the well-socialised well-behaved dog that you wanted and just want some help with training, or do you have a "reactive" dog or a problem dog that doesn't listen to you, a dog with "issues"?
If you think you have a problem dog at the end of your lead then stop and think - perhaps your dog has a problem person on the end of its lead - someone who is not sending the right signals to the dog, someone who is not communicating to the dog what is wanted.
This is where dog training classes come in - to help with the communication - we help you to train your dog, to get the well-socialised well-behaved dog that you wanted.
We run the RKC Good Citizen Dog Scheme (Bronze, Silver, and Gold awards) and are Royal Kennel Club (RKC) accredited.
