Dog Life Skills Course
Our 7-week dog training course is suitable for dogs of all ages, breeds and backgrounds. Whether you have a young puppy just beginning its training journey or an older dog that needs a little extra guidance, our classes are designed to help you achieve lasting results.
Using positive, reward-based training methods, each one-hour session is carefully structured to build your dog's confidence, improve everyday behaviour, and strengthen the bond between you and your dog. Our friendly and supportive environment ensures that both you and your dog enjoy learning together.
Throughout the course, you'll work on essential life skills including loose lead walking, reliable recall, stays, impulse control, polite greetings, and much more. The skills you learn will help your dog become a well-mannered, confident companion both at home and out in the real world.

Dog Life Skills Class Exercises
These training exercises focus on building essential skills that help create a well-mannered and responsive dog, both at home and out in everyday environments.
Loose Lead Walking teaches your dog to walk calmly by your side without pulling, making walks more enjoyable and controlled.
Leave helps your dog learn to ignore or move away from items they shouldn’t have, improving safety and impulse control.
Recall focuses on getting your dog to come back to you reliably when called, even with distractions around.
Not Jumping Up works on encouraging polite greetings, preventing your dog from jumping on people and promoting calmer behaviour.
Stay develops your dog’s ability to remain in one position until released, building patience, focus, and self-control.
Together, these exercises provide a strong foundation for everyday obedience and help your dog become more relaxed, attentive, and enjoyable to be around.
Cost
The cost of our 7-week dog training course is £140, offering excellent value for a structured and comprehensive programme designed to support both you and your dog. Across the 7-weeks, you’ll receive professional guidance, practical training exercises, and ongoing support to help build strong foundations and lasting results.
Each session is carefully planned to ensure steady progress, giving you the skills and confidence to continue training outside of class. This investment not only improves your dog’s behaviour but also strengthens your relationship, making everyday life together more enjoyable and rewarding.
