About My Classes
sorry no classes at the moment due to Covid-19


My classes are small so you will get a lot of individual attention 
and your dog will feel more relaxed. 

You won’t find any ‘old school’ harsh training methods in my classes!
​
We know it takes around 6 weeks for dogs to really learn something so that is why all my classes are in six week blocks.

 
Dogs learn better if you treat them kindly, give them choices and give them a reason to do what you want. I only use positive, rewarded based training techniques.
​
Research into dog behaviour has shown that using harsh methods might teach your dog to do what you want, but it takes longer, can break the bond you have with your dog and can even lead to aggression. For example, did you know the number one cause of lead-aggression in dogs is due to owners jerking the lead?

In my classes I teach YOU to teach your dog. I help you understand the most effective way to get your dog to listen to your requests, and you will learn to do this through using positive techniques, being consistent, showing compassion and having fun!

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that that ‘being soft’ will ruin your dog or make it a badly behaved adult. In my class, you will learn how to create a more confident and social dog that everyone will admire, as well as a devoted friend for life.

I am fully insured for providing training and behavioural work with dogs.
