Behavioural Training
The next opportunity to join us is 19th January 2025!
Classes are centred around the Royal Kennel Club Good Citizen Training Scheme. Our relationship-centred instruction focuses on the emotional bond between dog and owner. With emphasis on control, (settling, walking nicely on lead, recalling to owner and not jumping up), we promote positive social etiquette, engagement through play and mental stimulation plus life skills to set your dog up for success.
How is Behavioural Training Structured?
With availability on a rolling basis, training commences with an Induction of approximately 3 hours followed by Classes of an hour and 15 minutes each.
After Induction, you will be provided with access to videos, documents and articles to help with practicing exercises before your first Class and for ongoing reference.
Training is provided for Puppy Foundation, Bronze, Silver and Gold levels of The Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme with bespoke behavioural troubleshooting, low-level activities and tricks.
What is the Purpose of Induction?
This session which also acts as an assessment, helps set you up for success by providing an understanding of a variety of topics, including:
• the psychology of how dogs learn
• correct socialisation
• emotional bonding
• body language
• household etiquette
• experimental behaviours such as mouthing, stealing and chasing
For your canine companion to accompany you anywhere, anytime, core exercises are also introduced, such as:
• settling
• attention to name
• recall
• loose lead walking
