This is a great course for dogs over the age of 16+ weeks who have not been to Puppy Preschool or have completed training elsewhere. Our small groups are perfect for general training which covers all the foundation skills and techniques imperative to any further training after the Puppy stage. Our program focuses on teaching practical skills that can be used in everyday life when out and about with your dog. It is also ideal for those who may have previous experience with a training class that used alternative traditional methods. Many find it a refreshing way to get their dogs to respond using force free methods rather than punishment, force and intimidation.
