DOG TRAINING CLASSES

Outdoor Dog Training Classes

Indoor Dog Training Classes - Adult should dogs socialise too!

Not all dogs are able to cope witha dog training class training initially. Some dogs may need invidual training, a behaviour consultation, or need to be introduced gradually to dog class training. I provide a range of dog training and behaviour modification services, but of course the class is always the most popular.

With the exception of puppy training classes all dogs are seen and assessed as to their suitability to join a dog training class. If your dog cannot cope with the proximity of other dogs or people, then behaviour modification can often help gradually introduce him or her to the training class. Training in a dog training class can be difficult for some beginner dogs, so some training skills are taught to prepare dog and owner for dog class training.

Training with other people and dogs is fun and a great social activity. Class training is structured and each dog and owner work at their own pace. Training is strictly non-competitive.

Not all dogs are suited to dog class training sessions. Very shy, nervous or aggressive dogs may need one to one training initially, perhaps with a view to joining group training at a later stage.

Dogs with deep seated behavioural problems will need a more detailed behaviour consultation

Whatever your needs, training is always available for you and your dog.

Positive dog training classes are a happy, social activity for dogs and their owners, and is available for people and pet dogs of all ages and breeds. The training is people friendly and easy to follow. All levels and abilities are catered for and training is strictly non-competitive, and clicker training is included at all levels.

Just for fun, I have "Continual Assessment" plan. This is an on-going assessment, where you and your dog will be able to use the assessments to chart your own progress and earn certificates. As always the assessments are non-competitive. There are no "tests" to take and it's a great way to chart your progress. You can work through one or more of the assessments at your own pace, although they are optional, and you can still have fun and learn with your dog, if you decide not to take up this option.
