New to us? Don't worry we have classes suitable for dogs and pups of all ages and stages in their training. I offer:
121's - these are done either at your home or at our new training ground in Barnham. Costs depend on how far I need to travel, please contact me for prices.
Intense Training Course - The Intense Training Course will last for 5 days straight, so perfect for either those living further away or those who work shifts so can't commit to terms. We will have a 1 hour session each day, there will be 1 session every day for the 5 days. The Intense Training Course offers a 20% discount than if you were to book individual 121 sessions with me so is great value for money.
Beginners Classes - This class is for Puppy's and older dogs who are new to clicker training, new to the club or new to training. The Beginners Class will be held outside so please dress for the weather we have, not for the weather we want!!! Classes will run for a 6 week term. Within this 6 week term you will learn the basics of focus building, distraction techniques, recall. how to meet and greet politely, basic manners, loose lead walking and more importantly you will learn how to communicate and bond with your dog and become a team. This class is also a great introduction to get your puppy or dog used to working in a class environment alongside distractions.
Novice Trick Classes - This class will run as a 6 week rolling term. This class is suitable for dogs that have completed their Beginner Class. In this class you will learn lots of tricks and confidence building skills to enable the dogs to pass their Novice Trick Titles, like the Beginner Class these classes helps to get your dog used to working in a class environment alongside distractions, you will be working on obedience, Loose Lead Walking, focus building, confidence building and much more. Once you and your dog are ready you will have the opportunity to take your Novice Trick Title test, once completed you can then move up into the Intermediate Class.
Intermediate Class - This class is run at a Intermediate level so this particular class is only suitable for dogs who have successfully passed their Novice Trick Title. We work on much harder and more complex tricks and behaviours, including harder obedience and incorporate some of our other sports into this class as little tasters.
Wild2Mild Classes - This class has been set up especially for dogs that can't cope in a normal class environment due to fear of other dogs, people or just stressful situations in general. Learning in a class is so much fun, not only for the dogs but for us humans too, so why should our dogs miss out on this experience just because they dislike other dogs, aren't confident with strange people or perhaps they just can't concentrate when its too busy? The class will only have 4 dogs in it so you will all become great friends and the dogs will become familiar with everyone because its the same dogs and humans each week. The class itself is set out that each dog will have their own little work station, you will each keep to the same station every week so your dogs become comfortable with the routine. The stations where you'll be working are semi enclosed with walls that are high enough so the dogs can't see over but low enough to allow the humans to be able to chat!! The dogs will be able to hear and smell each other but taking away the visual trigger, reduces the dogs stress levels dramatically, allowing them to become comfortable working knowing there are dogs and humans nearby. This will be a very steady paced class and we will progress as a team with the aim to be able to work outside the cubicles with the dogs remaining happy and calm.
Recall Course - The course would be aimed at teaching and strengthening your dogs want to come when called, something I know alot of people struggle with sometimes!! We would primarily be concentrating on teaching solid recalls but will also be covering focus building skills, teaching a 'Stop' and teaching/encouraging checking in. The course would run for 6 weeks which needs paying in advance to guarantee a place. Everyone who passes the course showing me they are continuing to use the tools and techniques taught will receive a certificate. The course has limited spaces available and there will not be an opportunity to start half way through a course so book fast to get a space.
Play Sessions - These sessions are payable on the day and will allow both puppies and dogs to come along and learn how to play and socialise. This will encourage the dogs to grow in confidence and learn great manners. The dogs will have access to a fully enclosed garden with lots of play equipment and toys to investigate. These sessions are a 'pay as you go' but I do need to know if you wish to attend so I know numbers and can advise what class would be best suited for your dog. I run sessions for small dogs and young puppies, Large Puppies and Big Kid Sessions, please contact me with your dogs details and I can't let you know which session would be best suited. The classes are split to reduce any bullying that can occur, it also allows the puppies to grow in confidence without feeling bombarded by the older more confident pups.
New Hoopers - Hoopers is a new form of sport sweeping into the UK. Its fun, fast and super addictive and whats even better, its low impact for both handler and dog so less risk of any sporting injuries. Hoopers is perfect for dogs from 4 months and over, retired agility dogs who still need a job and for complete beginners too. There is no climbing, twisting, or jumping required so it can be used to teach all the basics for agility at a very early age. Imagine your dog having a solid understanding of important tools like wait, left and right and a safe tunnel entry before they even reach the age of being ready to start jumping! The dog’s physical demands are minimal, after all running through a hoop is pretty much just a matter of flat-surface work but with the added left and right turn and some tunnel fun added into the mix. Hoopers is very inclusive its suitable for dogs of all breeds, size and age. The point Hoopers is all about timing, running good lines, and having a smooth flowing run. Wasted steps are wasted time, but a smooth and flowing path is much faster than many starts & stops or sharp turns to get from one place to the other! We have a 5 week Beginners Class to teach you everything you need to know, then we run a Novice Class every 5 weeks for more progressional training.
