More details
This course is for dogs that have had little or no training It offers the opportunity to train your dog and socialise in a controlled, safe environment. The course will cover teaching the very basics to your dog. Most dogs that attend this course quite often will have problems and it is important that they know basic training before any attempt is made to solve their more serious problems. The vast majority of owners who attend this course have problems with some aspects of their dog’s behaviour including recalls, pulling on the lead, separation anxiety and anti-social behaviour, to name a few. There is emphasis on improving the owner dog relationship through play training and one of our aims is to help the owner understand why dogs behave in certain ways and that the way we live with them can have a dramatic effect on their behaviour at home and in public. The course is designed to be fun and informative but needs to be effective, to help this the owner will be requested to complete a questionnaire that will enable the training team to identify problem areas that can be quickly addressed.
With over 15 years of experience we have found that a course consisting of 6 one hour sessions to be the most effective. The number of dogs allowed to attend this course is limited to ten and with four instructors on hand it offers excellent value for money. This course is held on a Wednesday evening; starting time is 6.30pm.
What the sessions cover
What we are able to achieve on this course is a dramatic improvement in the dog’s overall behaviour and training. However some dogs may have quite serious, ingrained problems that may need more than one course or one-to-one training to achieve your goals.
We are able to offer a wide range of courses that are structured to help you achieve the behaviour and control you require in your dog. Once you have completed the Induction course we will be able to offer you a place on the novice dog course. These courses operate on weekends and evenings.
We would also encourage all members of the family to attend the course as we feel it is important that every one is consistent with the dog and its training!
