Most behavioral issues stem from a lack of good fundamental training in early life. I help you to teach your puppy or dog how to be calm at home or out socially.

6.30pm Puppy Foundation Classes are based around the Kennel Clubs ‘Good Citizen Dogs’ Scheme
At Puppy level, you build the foundation skills necessary for a dogs life in your world. Socialisation is teaching your pup to Settle and to be calm in the presence of other dogs and people. You will develop a relationship with your dog based on clear communication. Other skills we look at are: the 3 body positions of Sit/Down and Stand using vocal commands and hand signals, Distance and duration of commands, loose lead walking to heel, recall, Vet check and Grooming.
We discuss as a group the law around dogs, your dogs needs and your responsibilities as a dog owner.

The 7.30 pm class is suitable for owners and dogs who have skills at Puppy level and wish to continue on their journey of training to the next levels, Bronze, including Silver & Gold skills.

I include skills to prepare for Gundog training and for Agility.
All classes look at Behavioural issues such as barking, pulling on the lead, jumping up and resolving aggression.

We discuss the dogs’ needs and current issues for dog owners.
Praise and play are the main positive reinforcers. We start with food rewards but this is faded out as we go through the term.
Dogs are best trained from the collar and a 4ft flat lead.
