£88 per 8 week block
These classes are designed as a continuing weekly learning space, purchased in 8 week blocks. They offer a chance to build on the foundations you and your dog already have, with skills developing steadily over time.
During each lesson, support is tailored to the needs of the dogs and owners attending — whether that means reinforcing the basics, pushing skills to the next level, or exploring new challenges that help strengthen your communication, teamwork, and relationship with your dog.
Regular attendance helps dogs progress beyond average pet-level behaviours, increasing reliability and calm responsiveness at home and out and about. As always, our approach emphasises kindness, clear communication and co-operation.
Some examples of what is covered:
- Obedience skills: Stay, Loose lead walking, Recall, Sit, Down, Stand.
- Manners: Polite greetings, staying relaxed, handling confidence.
- Leave it: Leaving food and other items, including walking past distractions.
- Play skills: Dropping items, developing play drive and manners.
