Classes - Group Learning
Rates starting at £95
All of our training is science-based. We teach positive reinforcement training techniques as the strongest bond between human and dog is built on trust and kindness, not fear of punishment. We do not allow the use of abusive techniques or harsh handling / physical corrections as studies have shown these to be less effective when training animals.

Puppies
RATES STARTING AT £95
The 6 week Puppy Foundation Course covers all the basics required to build a solid relationship between you and your puppy.
Puppy Class is for dogs of up to about 5-6 months of age that have had all their vaccinations (including Kennel Cough) and they can start as soon as your vet says they can go for walks outside.
Early socialisation - before 14/16 weeks of age - is vital so access the free KC / Dog’s Trust Puppy-plan and start immediately so that hopefully you can raise the perfect pet!

Beginner Dogs - Bronze Award
RATES STARTING AT £130
This class works towards the KCGCDS Bronze Award and teaches owners how to train their dog to walk and behave in a controlled manner on the lead, to stay in one position on command, to allow its owner to clean, groom and inspect it, and highlights the responsibilities of dog ownership.
It is suitable for dogs of all ages (+ 6 months) that are relaxed around other dogs, have had all their vaccinations (including Kennel Cough) and normally takes about 8-9 weeks to complete.
Note that a class environment is not suitable for anxious / aggressive dogs.

Adult Dogs - Silver / Gold Award
RATES STARTING AT £130
This class builds on the foundations learnt in the Bronze Award class as owners work towards the KCGCDS Silver and Gold Awards. Dogs cannot progress to this class unless they are able to work calmly around other dogs.
Dogs must have achieved their Bronze Award and have had all their vaccinations (including Kennel Cough). It normally takes about 12-13 weeks to complete the Silver Award, and a further 12-13 weeks to complete the Gold Award. There is a lot of off-leash work in these classes so dogs must be calm and able to learn to work around other dogs.
Contact us to check on availability or register your interest with Foundation Dog Training. Dogs of + 6 months start in the Bronze class.
