Regular Dog Training Classes

* ‘On-Track’ Training Classes – regular classes – Every 2nd Friday of each month – plus every last Saturday of each month.

Venue: The Old Bowling Green, Preston Park – A fully enclosed training area just between the Tennis Courts and the Rotunda Cafe

• I’m a Level 5 Trainer/Behaviourist who only practices 100% positive reinforcement training.
• I have a great depth of knowledge and ongoing experience and studies to offer and always provide a mindful and conscientious service.
• Structured small group classes, plus 1-2-1 training sessions to help you achieve your goals
• Advance Bookings only – bookings taken on a first come first serve basis.

• £15 per 1 hour class – just book on when the date works for you.
• For dogs approximately 6 months and older
• Invaluable exercises for Focus, Self-Control and every day essentials.
• It’s always worth booking 3 or 4 individual ‘On Track Training’ classes, to get a good mix of various focus and impulse control exercises.

Keep ‘On-Track’ with your Dog Training!

• If your dog no longer takes much notice of you (on lead or off lead) when you’re out on your walks – These classes are Perfect for you!
• If your dog isn’t getting much mental stimulation and/or is only obsessed with chasing a ball – These classes are Perfect for you!
• If your dog has gone ‘off the rails’ with their training since adolescence kicked in – These classes are Perfect for you.

Please Note – If your dog struggles with high arousal, a class environment is not always the best initially – If you’d like further advice on how to help your dog remain calm in stimulating environments, please contact me on dogsclub@outlook.com and we can arrange a 1-2-1 session to help you be able to help them in the most effective and kind way.

Training proves most fruitful when distractions are introduced gradually, so these 1-2-1 sessions can be perfect to provide an environment with fewer distractions, whilst they are initially learning. As with the above group classes, we work with fun and play to help the dogs focus on us, as well as highlighting ways to help them thrive, feel confident and be able to make good decisions in many situations which may arouse/upset/excite them. We highlight how dogs learn and communicate and give you brief follow up summary notes of our session to continue working with.

1-2-1 – Adult Dog TRAINING WALKS – for my support towards resolving problems with Recall, Loose-lead Walking, Focus, Reactivity & Anxiety.

• £150 for 5 x 40minute walks
• Pick up & Drop off (within a 5mile radius)
• A minimum booking of 5 walks is essential to get the best out of this service – I’d take your dog for the walks on my own, ideally all 5 walks to happen within a 2week timespan.
• I’d work with your dog with experienced clarity to help them fully understand what is expected (this is an essential part of their learning).
• Once the exact technique/method is established and understood by your dog – whether it’s clearly initiating the process of desensitisation for reactivity or clarity of handling to promote focus for loose-lead walking, I would handover to you.
• I would example and handover to you in situ, so you can continue the training or behaviour modification with consistency and continue to progress.
• TO BOOK – please email: dogsclub@outlook.com
