This is the perfect class to bring a new puppy to, we create a controlled and calm environment where your puppy will be able to learn all the foundation behaviours whilst socialising with other puppies and humans.
All puppies are different and some puppies just aren't ready to interact the same as other puppies so we make sure to help owners learn how to read their puppy's body language so that all puppy interactions are positive. This allows us to build confident puppies, as we always provide them with choices in everything during a class.
Our training methods are positive reinforcement, reward-based training. The aim is for the class to be enjoyed by all.

Pet Gundog Class
Classes run for 5 consecutive weeks- £210
Our pet Gundog class is a fun introduction to the basics of Gundog training. This class will give you so much to play with on your dog walks, it will help to enhance your recall, dogs focus and loose lead walking. It's so much fun!
Why Pet Gundog Training?
Pet Gundog training allows you to truly nurture a dog's natural instincts. Working gundog breeds are often not given the right outlets to meet their needs and quite often they become bored and even worse self-employed.
Many owners struggle to hold their gundogs focus outdoors, as distractions often led the dog astray. Harnessing your pet gundogs needs will give you the foundations to help you to manage and understand your dog, especially outdoors on a walk.
Gundogs are required to be under control at all times unless instructed otherwise by their handler, so this is the perfect training to truly work on all the components to build solid behaviours such as recall, steadiness (stay) and heelwork.
The course will cover exercises such as
-
Heelwork
-
Recall
-
Place board training
-
Stops
-
Retrieving and hunting
-
Whistle Cues

Have you ever wanted to try scent work with your dog? I am excited to bring you an Introductory to Scent Work 2 part workshop.
This class will take you through the basics of getting started with scent work, teaching you how to imprint an odour, how to build an indication and start to search for the odour.
Scent work has so many benefits to dogs:
-
It is a low impact and tiring activity, perfect to learn before the boiling hot summer days when walks are limited. They say 10 minutes of scent work is like an hours walk.
-
It is perfect for any age of dog from young puppies to older dogs.
-
It is a wonderful way to bond with your dog, you are a team when it comes to scent work and your dog is the team leader.
-
It is perfect mental enrichment.
-
Scent work can be a good way to introduce dogs to new environments or situations, if they are on a job and problem solving then they won't feel worried. Disclaimer your dog must enjoy scent work, to begin with, and have had lots of practice in a safe and comfortable place
