Puppy Training Classes
It is so important to get your puppies off to the best start so they can become excellent, well-behaved adults. Baby puppies need correct socialisation to prevent problems later. In our baby puppy class, we focus on the basics, relationship building and the all-important socialisation period of your puppy.Things covered are:
- Attention to name
- Basic commands (sit, down, stay)
- Socialisation and focus
- Lead Walking
- Recalls
- Puppy Advice (Housetraining, Biting etc..)
- Handling your puppy/vet training
- Manners around people and dogs
The class is a friendly, no-pressure environment with a relaxed atmosphere, allowing you and your dog to learn together with friendly, likeminded people. Classes start at 10am on Saturday and are held with the help of our lovely volunteer trainers.

Gundog Training
Explore your dog’s natural instincts in our popular gundog class.
Our gundog class is open to all gundog breeds (including crossbreeds, poodles and poodle mixes) and is an excellent way to find our more about what they were bred to do. No real game is used, only canvas dummies, so it is suitable for everyone.
Gundog Classes are great for working on the following skills:
- Retrieving
- Controlled hunting
- Recall
- Control around other dogs
- Heelwork
- Listening Skills
- Swimming
- Emergency Stop
The class is an hour on a Friday night at 7pm starting in late March
Helpful Tip
The whistles used in gundog training are made by a company called ACME. We recommend these whistles as they are monotone, easy to replace and the sound carries to your dog at a long distance.
Dog handlers put many commands on the whistle including recall and stop commands.
The numbers on the whistle mean the pitch . I use a 210.5 but any pitch is fine.
Reliable Recall Classes
Recall is a crucial skill and one of the most important things you can teach your dog. Unfortunately soso much can go wrong when teaching it and you may find your recall isn't as reliable as you would like.
Our 8 week course focuses just on recall. Starting with the basics and working up to really complicated recalls, you will teach your dog to love coming back to you!
Whether you are having problems with your recall or you just want to teach your young dog, our reliable recall classes teach everything to do with recall and managing your dog safely off lead, meaning you can get start enjoying your dogs walks, giving them freedom safely!
Spaces on this class are limited and classes take place at our own private venue!
Training Methods
We use only force free based methods in our training class! We believe this will get you the best, most reliable recall.
