Classes

This informal session, in your own home, with printed handouts and heaps of tips and advice, will look at how to prepare yourself, your family and your home for a new puppy, and make sure that the dog you choose has the best possible start in its new home.

Puppies have a LOT of learning to do in their first few months.  It's a REALLY important time and needs ot be handled with caution! Our Puppy Parties help them to get used to new experiences, meet & play with other puppies in a safe environment and get used to being handled by different people. **BOOKING ESSENTIAL**

Puppy training for 12 – 20 week old pups – in association with Puppy School – basic life skills, training, help and advice – bring the whole family! 6 week courses of 1 hour a week. A nationally acclaimed training programme developed by Gwen Bailey designed to give your pup the best foundation for positive learning. Classes are £75 for six weeks.

**PLEASE NOTE - we are only running classes in Bramley in April / May 2018 with tutor Karen Boardman. Tutor Alex Smith is out of action from April for a planned medical procedure. Pool in Wharfedale classes with Alex will resume from  3rd June 2018**

A single session, or a series of 1-2-1 sessions to teach you and your puppy the basics  in your own home - without the commitment of a regular class. Suitable for all puppies aged 8 weeks to 6 months.

Puppy University is designed as a follow on class to Puppy School and is offered to Puppy School Graduates, or puppies who have completed Puppy 1 training through the Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme. 

Next class: Saturday 16th June 2018

Get your dog to come running EVERY time you call! A one off  2 hour class to help you on the way to a reliable recall, and give your dog freedom from being on the lead!  A small, focussed class with the emphasis on building a better relationship with your dog. For dogs over 6 months who are friendly towards other dogs both on and off lead.

If you have a dog, of any age, with an annoying habit, or who just needs some basic training, then a 1-2-1 session might be a better option. Held in your own home, or somewhere where you & the dog feel comfortable, we will assess the issues causing concern and offer some practical and manageable solutions.
