We have been training in and around the York and Selby area, since setting up dog friendly in 1999. Training available - puppy and foundation classes for adolescent and adult dogs, who can then continue their training in either our activity or working trials classes. Courses from half day to weeks courses covering working trials, play, gundog activities, tracking and assorted dog activities. One to ones, if times of classes don’t suit or if you’d like to work on something specific. We believe dog training can and must be fun for learning to take place. Training in the outdoors in our beautiful 10 acre training ground, located between York and Selby, means you are working in a realistic environment, which will enhance and proof your dog’s training. A natural environment for your dog, so they feel at ease, which aids learning. We are experienced in both pet training and high level competition. At dog friendly we use positive methods, food and play, we have developed our methods over a life time of dog training, by observing dogs. We work with dogs evaluating their emotions to enhance their learning experience. Our training improves relationship and builds motivation, leading to a responsive dog who wants to be with you. We are both experienced working trials, competitors, trainers and kennel club judges. Dave won both the TD and the PD tickets at the working trials kennel club championships with his dog WT CH Little Raymond, Ray and WT CH Stardell Alula qualified many times to go to the championship, they also qualified TDex & PDex many times. Jenny has trained qualified 2 dogs to Tdex level also working PD championship with one. During our years of owning, training, working and competing with dogs we have entered working trials, competitive obedience, agility, flyball and scurries.
