A wonderful social-skills walk, with Claire, last Tuesday.

One hour ‘Social-skills walks’, these are group sessions that involve a little training but mostly to get them used to walking with other dogs and separately. We do include some socialising but tend to work more on passing in a relaxed manner, being calm, building confidence and listening to basic cues in the presence of other dogs and people.

A very wet and windy recall-session, with Mark, yesterday.

In addition to this class, we also run them elsewhere too...
Thursdays in Goodwood – 6pm.
Saturday fortnightly at Goodwood 11am.
Saturday fortnightly at Findon 11am.

These are an opportunity to improve/ practise your recall-skills in a safe, enclosed field in a small group setting. These sessions don’t have a structure as such, but more work on helping individual needs on the day, and socialising so everyone gets to work on something personalised for them but picks up other recall/ connection training tips too.

We cover: teething problems, sleep, diet, house training, confidence building and sensory exercises, first steps of recall, off-lead and on lead socialising, focus, lead walking, drop and more… These are fun, relaxed, educational and enriching. Establishing the basics/ foundations of dog-training. Sit, down, stay/ wait, loose-lead walking, drop, engagement are just some of what we cover but we also give you personalised information to help individuals' needs.

🐾Next Steps Classes... These are small group classes which allow us to tailor and personally target areas your dog is struggling with the most but also recapping over the basics, as you can never over- practise the foundations.

🐾Rally-Remix - A fun follow-on from our Next Steps course, or a great stand-alone class for dogs with some basic training foundations. Rally-Remix is a flexible pay-as-you-go session where we put real-life skills into practice through engaging rally-style stations and mini courses. We’ll build on skills learnt in Puppy and Next Steps, introduce new exercises where appropriate, and can even work on tricks you’d love to teach. Expect loose lead walking, recall, hand touches, bows, spins and more — all finished with fun mini rally runs for a little friendly competition and confidence building.

A quiet seaside social-saunter this morning, with glimpses of sunshine.
🦀🐟🐾🐚🪸🌊
Thanks to those who did attend - as always, a lovely time was had by all: canines and humans. Keep-up the force-free training everyone, so proud of your progress!

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible for our next monthly social-walk, in memory of our dear Ava, which will no doubt be a display of wonderful autumnal sights, and rutting deer, in Petworth Park.

Enjoy your tired pups this afternoon, and snuggled in the warm...
