Perhaps you missed puppy training because of Covid, you might have recently taken on a new rescue dog, or maybe you've been doing fine with your puppy training but are now struggling with adolescence.

​

This block of 4 sessions is designed to fast track you through the skills that will help you with training your dog and prepare you for other classes you might want to do. It will cover:

​

- How to use markers to communicate in a way that makes it really clear to your dog what you want from them, reducing frustration for both you and your dog

- Breaking down loose lead training into small and achievable steps

- Improving recall

- Settling in pubs, cafes and when visiting people

- Introduction to some fun training games you can do at home when walking your dog might be harder (for example when you or your dog are unwell or recovering from injury or surgery)

​

There will be a maximum of 6 dogs per class to ensure everyone gets the attention they need. Handouts will be provided for you to refer back to between classes to help you practice at home.
