Foundation Training Classes

Overview

Package of 3 1:1 classes covering the basics for puppies, rescue dogs or dogs who have missed out on early training.

Training classes are important for helping your new family member develop into a well rounded, happy, easy and fun to live with companion. Dogs aren’t born understanding our human world and our expectations, so it is our responsibility to help guide them as best we can. Through attending 1:1 classes, dogs will be guided through basic training and socialisation exercises, this can then be built on at home and throughout your dog’s life, providing any support you require along the way,

The training exercises gradually progress from easy to more complex, building on your dog’s understanding and reliability each session.

Reward based and fun training! We use primarily food rewards in classes (sometimes toys), please note that if you would prefer to use different training methods, these classes won’t be suitable.
