We look forward to helping you build a great relationship with your dog and hope you enjoy the course.
We teach reward based, positive reinforcement training. We encourage play, socializing and fun in these sessions. The goal is to build a good relationship with your dog with life skills training; based on things you and your dog are likely to encounter through his/her life.
SAFETY NEEDS
- Some exercises require bending or kneeling. Wearing comfortable clothes such as jeans/slacks/shorts in which you can easily move around is best.
- Enclosed footwear is required such as sneakers/loafers.
- Thongs, slip-ons, high heels or bare feet are not permitted.
- No smoking is permitted during classes.
- Your dog should have a small snack before class. It is best not to work him/her on either an empty, or a full, stomach.
- Training treats/food will be used during classes (not supplied). Please ensure you bring plenty – not just your dog’s normal dry food – chicken, dog roll, sausage, bits of meat –cut into small pieces are all great foods to use
- Dogs and puppies must arrive at class on a flat collar and with a soft 180cm (6ft) lead. Head halters/harnesses are also welcome.
- Please note that check/choke chains are not to be worn.
- Dog droppings must be picked up by the handler.
IF YOUR DOG IS UNWELL please do not bring him to training without first speaking to your vet. You may be putting the other dogs at risk.
YOUR DOG’S CURRENT VACCINATION CERTIFICATE MUST BE BROUGHT TO THE FIRST CLASS.
For dogs enrolled in the Beginner’s class please note that WEEK ONE is an information session WITHOUT your dog.
Due to the number of places available in each class being strictly limited, we do not offer make up classes, and are unable to give refunds once you are enrolled. Class start dates may also be postponed if numbers are insufficient at the start of the course.
Advanced courses, competition training and individual lessons are also available for all levels.
If you are happy with your classes please tell your friends, if not, please tell us.
