Beginners Socialisation Course

Starts Saturday afternoon at 2pm

Consists of 4 x 1hour sessions held once a fortnight and all dogs will be on lead and fully supervised by our experienced trainers.

This entry level course is suitable for anybody who needs to remind their dog to listen to them i.e. get them to come back to you when you call them, help them socialise with other dogs and recognise that walking past the dog is not a problem, or just to help your dog learn to focus on you and enjoy your company.

Once complete completed, you’d be very welcome to join our lifeskills program and enjoy our companion dog walks.

To join this is what you need to do:

Complete the application form and return it to the office.
Make payment of £100 for the four weeks which are held alternatively.
Come along on Saturday and enjoy yourselves. All the family is welcome although we encourage just one handler. As we are working outside this environment may not be suitable for very young

My name is Carol Ashworth and I run the company The Walkabout Way which is based in Old Idsworth between Finchdean and Chalton in the south Downs Park.

Here at The Walkabout Way we teach dogs their life skills and help their owners to understand their dogs behaviour.

Walkabout was established just about 40 years ago as a company that could offer dog owners a secure and safe place to learn and socialise with each other. I’m delighted to confirm that many of our clients return with their second third fourth and fifth after working with their first dog with us. Whether it’s helping your dogs understand how to sit quietly around other people such as in a coffee shop or the pub garden or they need to be able to walk past other dogs quietly and well behaved without launching forward or maybe you just want to play nicely with other dogs in the park and come back when called We cover all of this because that’s what’s needed. As my favourite breed is the German Shepherd I tend to specialise in that breed and we have many specific classes just designed for the larger working dogs but the Scentwork and nosework classes attract all breeds and so do our beginners obedience classes which restart again this autumn.

Funny enough I just have three rules one we’re taking our glasses 1: stop saying sorry because you’re doing your best!

2: We don’t talk about politics there’s enough on the news. We don’t need to worry about that while we’re walking our dogs!

3: We have avoid talking about religion because it can be controversial subject and after all our dogs don’t really care as long as we love them!

By the way, we always talk about the weather!

If you’d like to come and join us, you are very welcome to contact, have a chat and see how best we can help. There are lots of different ways so please don’t hesitate to get in touch soon.
