A six week course that will not only cover basic obedience and confidence building exercises, but also body language- what our pups are trying to communicate to us, and behaviour- why our pups may be acting the way they are. My aim is for you to leave with a better understanding of your pup.
You will receive an email after each lesson which will recap the what, why and how we taught each exercise in class so that you can refer back to it and practice at home.
NEW class starting on Sunday 17th April @ 1pm
Ideal if you would like help and advice with your new arrival in the comfort of your own home.

A class for owners and dogs who are not looking to go on and compete, but just want to have fun and try something different. Agility is a great way to build focus, trust and confidence, develop flexibility, coordination and obedience. It is a pretty cool way of keeping us fit too! Classes can be adapted to suit dogs of all ages and abilities so long as they are physically fit and well.

Would you like to provide your gundog with an outlet for their natural ability? The beginner gundog class will not only allow your dog the opportunity to perform all of those intrinsically rewarding behaviours that have been selectively bred into them, but also learn whistle commands, practice impulse control, retrieving and hunting skills.
We use training dummies of all kinds, no pheasants, ducks or partridge so it is, in the words of my friend Barnaby – ‘all of the thrills with none of the kills!’
