Pups and Teens Improvers, Sat 11.15am

Class Details

Ready to move on from puppy training? This course gets them focussed on you even when exciting stuff is going on. Gets them walking reliably by your side, charging back to you when you call. And it teaches essential skills for 'teenage' dogs - settling calmly, learning impulse control, learning the kind of manners we'd like our dogs to have as they mature. The secret? Understanding how to get your dog to make smart choices. That means doing what you would like them to do, not because you're constantly telling them, but because that's what they CHOOSE to do. It's the ideal course if you have done puppy training with us or elsewhere, or if your dog is in that tricky 'teenage' stage, or simply needs a better overall level of training. Using positive, proven training methods, we take puppy basics to the next level and beyond: * Learn to control impulsive behaviour * Get your dog’s focus on you regardless of what is going on * Power up your recall * Make lead walking a pleasure * How to settle calmly in all kinds of settings * PLUS a host of useful tips, skills and games…. Classes are held in small groups with professional instructors in a large, airy barn. If your dog is worried by other dogs, talk to us before booking as we may be able to offer more suitable alternatives. Activities can be adapted to different needs/sizes/ages of dogs and their humans, so please make sure you tell of us any special needs on your booking form. Each session comes with handout notes so you are fully supported and able to work at your dog's own pace.
