Everyone enjoys owning a well-behaved dog or maybe you have experienced problems teaching your dog, come along and join our 9 week basic obedience course (Week one is Induction night) where we can explain how to get the best out of YOUR dog. 

You will be taught: 

                   Recall getting your dog to come to you

                   Heelwork walking your dog on a loose lead

                   Sit & Down Stays (teaching your dog to stay on the lead) - 

                   Socialising (helping your dog to interact with other dogs and people) 

Note: If possible leave your dog at home on the induction night as this will give us the opportunity to explain the exercises and requirements in a quiet environment, allowing you to sit and enjoy our hospitality, avoiding the inevitable excitement caused when new dogs all meet for the very first time.
