Question 1

What breeds of dog do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all breeds! We love to see such variety come through our door because we get to use different methods and skills as each dog and/or breed learns and works slightly different. We like to tailor our classes to ensure you and your dog enjoy yourselves and are able to work to your full potential.

Question 2

My dog is nearly two, are we able to join as he isn't a puppy?"

Accepted Answer

What we tend to do is invite youself and your dog along to an evening where you can watch the class and for us to see what stage you are both at with regards to training. We will happily answer questions and if all goes well then we would invite you back to have a go in the class.

Question 3

Do you train any other nights of the week?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, due to the availability of the Scout Hut, we are limited to just Wednesday evenings which is why we start at 8pm and go on until 10pm. We appreciate this can be late for some people but we want to offer our services as much as possible and this is the only way we feel is possible.

Question 4

Are my children allowed to come?

Accepted Answer

We welcome all members of the family. All we ask is that the dog has consistency with handlers and if children do come along, we ask that they are respectful that it is a training/working environment and too much noise or moving about can be distracting both for the dogs and the handlers.

Question 5

My dog is being particularly distructive at home, what can i do?"

Accepted Answer

We will offer as much help as we can but please understand that one technique can work for some and not others. We do have a fully qualififed behaviourist who we can put you into contact with to help solve specific behavioural problems.

Question 6

I have a rescue dog and i would love to start obedience training. She is 6 years old though, is this too old?"

Accepted Answer

It is NEVER too late to start obedience training. What we would suggest is coming along to our 6 week Puppy Course. Please dont be put off by the title, the course is there to teach handlers the basics to then train their dog no matter what their age. You can establish heel work, general control and good manners. From there you can, if you wish, progress into our next class up to build upon your skills and strengthen your training.
