During the pandemic, we have had to restrict attendance to one person per dog, but as soon as things improve we will reinstate our everyone welcome policy.
If you have family that would like to be involved in the training we are offering half price VIP membership during the pandemic so you can have access to all our training at home too via our online training program. This can be booked at the time of booking a class.
Our trainers and helpers are all DBS checked for your peace of mind. Children under the age of 16yrs old are not permitted to attend alone during the pandemic due to restrictions of one person per dog.

Yes, If you have booked the flexible option - You can make the permitted number of changes in your account on the website If you have booked the fixed option you cannot change dates.

Not as a rule, as long as it is safe to train we will train all weathers. We will only cancel if we deem it to be unsafe for owners and dogs to train.

Poo bags, Lots of yummy treats - I recommend thinly sliced hot dog sausage or sausage, chicken, ham etc rather than shop bought treats. We estimate an average class requires around 200-400 teeny tiny pieces of treats.
Don't feed breakfast for morning classes, or dinner for evening classes as we use a lot of food with the reward based training and their tummies fill up quickly.

Classes are suitable for any puppy or dog that needs to learn new training skills, improve the skills they already have and are happy to be in and around other dogs.
If your dog is worried, scared or aggressive around dogs and people we suggest behaviour training instead. For more info https://www.bestbehaviourdogtraining.co.uk/dog-behaviour/

Puppies and dogs can attend from any age as long as they have had their 2nd vaccination. Old or young, we help them all.

We only use modern, science based force free, reward based training using positive reinforcement. We do not condone or permit harsh handling, slip leads, or punishment.

Seasons can sometimes be difficult to predict, and we ask owners not to bring bitches in season to classes. Your place is booked regardless so we do encourage owners to attend without their dog so you know what to train at home. If you have booked flexible booking you may change your class within the permitted number of changes for your booking by going to your account on our website.

As per our terms and conditions we will provide online training instead in the event of a lockdown.
