How can encouraging a puppy to bite stuff actually teach them to let go of things? Puppy biting and running off with things you don’t want them to are two of the most common problems puppy owners talk to us about. The ‘on-off’ game we teach in class is simple but brilliant. It encourages good puppy play, directs play biting to where you want it (ie toy, not you), builds trust and cooperation, and builds a cue that means ‘please let me have what’s in your mouth’

Fed up with your dog ignoring you? Chasing things? Then this is the answer! In five weeks they'll learn an emergency stop, distance control, recall from chasing, to stand calmly at the vets or groomers and more. And we have a lot of fun too!

'It's changed how we walk, play and live. And we had so much fun!' - Ash C, Beaconsfield Can your dog Stop instantly, even when they're running away from you? Come back when they're chasing something exciting? Drop into a down, even at a distance? Stand calmly at the vets or for grooming? These are....

Did you know that dogs need different kinds of training at different stages of life? It's all to do with how young dogs develop. So once you're through the baby puppy stage, it's time to switch gears. You need to think about helping your dog to be calm when you need them to be, enthusiastic about coming back to you, and enjoy the world with confidence,
Our Improver class does all that and more. In just five weeks, your dog will learn to
* focus on you even when exciting stuff is going on
* walk on relaxed lead
* come charging back to you when you call
* settle calmly when you ask
* not to grab food (or anything else)
* we even teach a great retrieve (you know, one where they actually give back the ball ;)

It's ideal course if you've done puppy training, if your dog is in that tricky 'teenage' stage, or if your dog simply needs a training power boost.

Classes are held in small groups with properly qualified, experience trainers iin 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.

We love working with dogs of all ages and breeds, training up the clever ones and the stubborn ones, helping the scared ones, the lead pullers, the crazy barkers, the won’t take any notice ones. But there’s something very special about working with the new babies. They’re little sponges and can learn so many things, but what we really love is getting them on the right track to living happily with their new families. Helping to build that bond, helping them understand each other. And it’s possible we sneak in a few puppy smooches while we’re there. All part of the service 😉
