Helping you find your best friend

Training

  • 1-1 Training

    Training is also offered on an individual basis if your dog has specific training needs or is unable to train with other dogs present in a class environment.

    ​An assessment will be carried out over the phone so I can understand what training is required and assess the best training options for you and your dog.

    ​All training is reward based, either with treats or toys - depending on the dog's preferred reward.

    Sessions last at least 1hr.

    To book a session please email to arrange a chat to discuss your training needs.

  • Beginner Scent Workshop

    The next Workshop is on the 1st July 2023

    If I told you that you could have a dog that is happy, tired, and has fulfilled its natural behaviour without having to leave the house, all within 10 minutes and with minimal effort on your part and I would even provide you with the two pieces of equipment you need,

    Would you believe me?

    ​1 day workshop working on teaching your dog how to search effectively for a specific scent, while giving you the skills to help them out and challenge them as they get better and better at the game.

    This workshop is ideal for active, busy dogs that require a lot of physical exercise to wear them out. It is also perfect for dogs that get overstimulated and excited, making it difficult for them to calm down.

    Alternatively, if you simply enjoy training or activities with your dog, this workshop is for you.

    Regardless of your experience level, dog's breed, or age, this workshop will provide you with the tools and knowledge you need to help your dog live a happy and healthy life.

    The afternoon portion of the workshop will allow you to practice searching for items like an operational search dog. See if your dog can find the hidden contraband.

    ​The course is open to all breeds, all ages and all experience levels.

    ​Price is £100

    Scent kit is included and sent out for all handlers.
