Have you just got your dog and not really sure where to start? Maybe you're an experienced dog owner but want to go back to basics. Have you done our puppy course and want to carry on training?
Our classes are about teaching you and your dog exercises and skills that will actually help them in the real world and your day-to-day life. We don't do any pointless 'obedience' exercises like a 10 minute down-stay whilst you stand perfectly still, or endless marching round the room and yanking on the lead to teach walking nicely. Instead, we want you to come away with a better understanding of your dog as an individual and give you the skills to work with them to make your life together fulfilling. We will develop skills you may already know, such as leave, recall, and lead walking but we'll also talk through appropriate on-lead greetings, building and maintaining off-lead connection, as well as developing self-control, frustration tolerance, building confidence, and learning to be calm.
We are fortunate enough to have 2 lovely venues, Highbury Hall in Tenterden & Pluckley Village Hall. These large halls provide plenty of space to work & both come with ample free parking directly outside & a grassy area to toilet your dog.
Our classes are kept small so you get lots of personal attention & we provide plenty of support to make sure you get the best from your learning experience.
Booking online is quick & easy - just select the service you want, the start date, fill in some basic info & pay. Then sit back & relax - you'll soon receive your confirmation email containing a handy welcome video!
