ACTIVITY CLASS
Our training club is designed to cater for those who wish to participate in an activity with their dog but not necessarily compete.
Using positive, reward based methods you can work on increasing your dogs obedience, learn new tricks, try your hand (or paw) at different sports and most importantly strengthen the bond between you and your dog. Please note dogs must be over 10 months old for this class.
We cover many different exercises and disciplines including:
Distance work
hand signals
stops, send-aways
Scent-work
Agility
Heelwork
