We are also running classes over zoom, they are very successful as the puppies and dogs have less distractions and allow you to practice in an environment where you are both comfortable. 

• Puppies can start their training before they have had their vaccinations which gives you and them a head start. 
• Dogs who react to things in the environment can join in without this pressure. 
• The weather does not affect the session.
• As long as you have a device that you can use zoom on, you can take part.
• Space is not an issue.
• All the family can take part. 

Our classes include:

Focus on you, confidence, walking nicely on the lead, coming back when called, being comfortable with handling (like when at the vets) and grooming, being able to settle, good manners, brain games.

The sessions are 30 minutes long. 

• Group sessions are £7.50
• 1 to 1 sessions are £15.
