Dog Training Classes
Group dog training classes for adolescents to adult dogs
Focusing on building solid training foundations in an outdoor environment, with controlled exposure to other dogs, group classes enable you to strengthen the connection with your dog whilst they work around many distractions.
Our group classes, tailored specifically for adolescent to adult dogs allow you to build confidence in your dog and their abilities and give you the skills to guide you both through. From foundations to advanced skills, we have you covered.
When your sweet little puppy reaches adolescence, it can be challenging. That’s because your pup’s body and brain are rapidly changing at this stage in their development and they begin to have different priorities.
Namely, you’ll notice they might have become more than a little mischievous, perhaps struggle to focus in busy areas, and maybe just aren’t listening to you anymore!
To retain the bond between you and your dog, and overcome some of the frustrations of adolescent behaviour, foundation training is crucial at this stage – both for you and your dog’s success.
With small group sizes, we’ll ensure you receive individual support and coaching in each class, with expert guidance from your qualified instructor.
All the training is adaptable, so if you’re struggling in one area but excelling in another, we can adjust the difficulty accordingly.
