Classes / 1-2-1's

General Class Information

Classes are informal and fun for you and your dog.
They are run on a rolling basis so you won't have to wait for the start of a course, you can begin training when it's best for your dog.

Training your dog actually takes place 24/7, so each week you'll be given homework which reinforces the lessons. We'll know who has and hasn't done it in the next class!

There are 4 obedience levels which you and your dog can achieve in class:

Level 1. Puppy Development
Level 2. Domestic Obedience
Level 3. Intermediate Obedience
Level 4. Advanced Obedience

All obedience classes include agility.

Further levels of training to championship level are available:

Champion Obedience
Champion Working Trials
Gun dog training (images)

These are generally on a one-to-one basis. This is no empty sales pitch - Pete has been there!

Our instructors are approachable and always happy to answer any questions that arise in class.
Throughout the course, if you are struggling we will recommend what to do - we won't abandon you!

In some cases we are happy to allow youngsters to train the dogs in class, by previous agreement. A responsible adult must be present.

Various information sheets can be purchased on joining the school. At present we have:

Ten Week Training Course
Basic Training and Behaviour
Children and Dogs

with more planned for the future. Proceeds from these sales go to charities such as: The Chiltern Dog Rescue Society.

You can purchase all equipment needed from the school at reduced prices.

Puppy Classes

Puppy classes are the best way to start your puppy's life.
He will learn how to behave in private and in public - and so will you!

They are held on-site and provide a safe and sure way to socialise your puppy.
Each session lasts 45 minutes which is quite enough for the average puppy (and his owner!) to absorb.

For the health of your puppy and everyone else's, we will need to see proof of vaccinations.

Continuity is very important to your puppy's successful training and socialisation so please plan to attend all sessions without a break.

At the end of the 10-week course you will be assessed and (if you've done your homework!) receive your coveted certificate. You and your puppy will then be upgraded to the next class.

For people wanting to join the puppy class, we hold a free of charge presentation and induction, call us to find out the latest dates and times. Presentations / inductions for individuals can be provided for other days / times on request. Just call for more information.

Adult Classes

Adult classes are the next step up in your dog's training.
Here you will learn more advanced techniques and develop your dog's abilities further.

They are held on-site.
Each session lasts about an hour.

In the same way as puppy classes, you will be assessed at various stages and if you and your dog can demonstrate your abilities, you'll be awarded your certificate.

One to One

We recognise that some people can't attend classes for various reasons, either personal, or because of your dog's behaviour. Maybe you're training to competition or championship level and want to acheive the best for your dog.

Whatever the reason, we offer one-to-one lessons where you get our undivided attention.

It's possible for two to share a one-to-one session in some circumstances. This can be a big advantage to certain types of training, as well as reducing your costs! Please contact us for more information.
