Unlock Your Dog’s Potential: Training Classes for a Companion Dog

Owning a dog is a joyful experience and training plays a vital role in ensuring a well-mannered companion. Our specialised dog training classes are designed to help you and your furry friend gain essential skills for a companion dog. Here’s how our classes can benefit both you and your dog:

 1. Loose Lead Walking
Does your dog pull on the lead during walks? Our training focuses on teaching your dog to walk calmly by your side without pulling, making walks more enjoyable and controlled. 

 2. Settling on Boundaries
Teaching your dog to stay within a designated area helps with self-control and relaxation. Whether it’s a bed, a mat, or a specific place, this skill ensures your dog knows where to settle when needed.

 3. Picking Up Items
Imagine your dog fetching objects for you! This class teaches your dog how to pick up and retrieve items on cue, a useful and fun skill that can be especially beneficial for owners with mobility issues.

 4. Closing Doors
Yes, your dog can learn to shut doors! Whether it’s for convenience or just an impressive party trick, we train dogs to gently push doors closed.

 5. Dropping an Item
Dogs love to pick up all sorts of things, but not everything is safe. Our training helps teach the ‘drop it’ cue, ensuring they let go of unwanted or dangerous items when asked.

6. Reliable Recalls
A strong recall ensures your dog comes back to you when called, no matter the distractions. This training is crucial for safety, especially when your dog is off-lead in open spaces.

7. Control Through Gates and Exits
Preventing dogs from bolting through doors or gates is an essential safety measure. We teach controlled movement through entrances, reducing the risk of escape or accidents including a follow which is useful if you’re in a wheelchair.

8. Controlled Greetings with Humans and Dogs
Over-excitement when meeting people or other dogs can lead to jumping up. Our training focuses on calm, polite greetings, ensuring positive social interactions.

 9. Food Refusal and Ignoring Temptations
Teaching your dog to ignore food left on the ground or refuse treats from strangers helps prevent potential health risks and reinforces self-control in various environments.

Why Choose Our Classes?
Our professional trainers use positive reinforcement techniques to ensure effective learning in a fun, stress-free environment. Whether you have a puppy, an adolescent dog, or an older companion, these training sessions will strengthen your bond and improve your dog’s training.
