Class sizes are restricted to ensure that every dog and owner gets individual attention. We believe that dog training should be fun and stress free – for the owner and the dog.

Here is what some of our customers said after they completed the course:

“Just wanted to say how much Pan, Helen and I enjoyed the intro to dog training course. I’ve been to puppy training classes before and this was by far the best and really beneficial to all of us. Some classes can be a bit intimidating but tail tapping antics was great and it was good to learn about all round care as well as the basic obedience stuff.”

“Me and Benji have very much enjoyed the 6 week course, the instructor was brilliant.  The course covered lots of topics of which I found really useful & helpful, but also the most valuable thing I have found is patience!” Jan 2010.

“Thank you very much for having us on your 6 week course, we have very much enjoyed your course, and of course our dog has too.  The most valuable things that I have learnt from the course is getting my dogs attention, learning patience, and getting my reward & timing right”. Jan 2010.
