*** General Information ***
Many Dogs cannot cope with the pressures of being trained in the confines of a hall, which is totally unnatural, frequently overcrowded and usually noisy often causing Dogs and Owners unnecessary stress. All training here is held outdoors in the Dogs normal environment. An escape proof large exercise area is also available so that they can 'let off steam' before classes if required and training groups are kept to a manageable number with plenty of space for everyone.
Each Dog is individually assessed and offered a place in a training group best suited to it's age and temperament. A separate socialising group is run for Puppies, ensuring that they learn to interact correctly but above all safely with other Dogs of their own age. They are never placed in a group with older Dogs.
Training can be continued to whatever level the Owner wishes and weekly sessions are held to enable Owners and Dogs to train regularly. Individual sessions are also available to cater for Clients who prefer to receive one to one training. These start from the basics to more advanced work with each lesson being tailored to suit the Owner and Dog's requirements. Home visits are also arranged for behaviour problems not covered by training classes and a full back up service is offered to all registered Clients for the lifetime of the Dog.
All ages and breeds of Dog are welcome to come and train in an enjoyable safe environment where the welfare and happiness of your Dog is as important to your Trainer as it is to you. Effective but kind methods are used, with every Dog being treated as an individual ensuring that the training method used is suitable for that particular Dog. There is no 'one size fits all approach' or shortcuts and quick fixes taken to improve your Dog's behaviour.
