Foundation Dog Training Classes
Our 6 week group training course is designed to give you the tools to teach your dog to grow into a well-mannered integrated part of the family.
It is suited for dogs of any age. So great if you missed the early puppy courses or would like to build on the basics. Maybe you have a new rescue dog or just want a refresher? This may be the course for you.
Dogs need to be fully vaccinated before they begin, and vaccination cards will need to be seen prior to the first session.
Your dog will be introduced to walking nicely on a lead, gain recall techniques, learn some impulse control and focus skills, along with basic manners such as sit, stay and leave it. In addition, you will gain the tools for keeping your dog calm and relaxed in various environments.
Dogs will be on a lead for the session unless advised otherwise by a trainer. Important – Dogs must be comfortable around both humans and dogs to enrol on the class.
We only use force free reward-based training as we believe training should be fun for all involved. This means you will need plenty of small tasty treats to help along the way, a few favourite toys and plenty of praise.
The group courses are between 45 mins & 1 hour long. Sessions will include many practical exercises, however there will be some discussion involved in order for you to gain that extra knowledge to help you along the way.
Children are welcome to attend the courses as we love for the whole family to be involved, however for safety, we ask that there is no running and parents are responsible for supervision at all times.
You will be provided with phone and email assistance for the duration of the course.
You will also have access to a private Facebook Group where you can ask questions and have access to additional training materials.
The one important note is that you will need to practice regularly with the methods taught in class. We can give you the tools to take away, however to achieve the best results your dog will require consistent and regular training sessions.
6 week courses costs £145. (6 x approx 1 hr sessions)
