Next Available Classes Start 19th May 2026
Tuesday Morning: 9:30am - 10:45am
Any age & breed welcome!
Our Training Club can take you from foundations to advanced obedience. We work in a natural environment and around real distractions to ensure your training works in the real world! Learn how to train your dog, gain communication and responsiveness in all environments and build the best relationship with your canine companion.
We offer obedience training for dogs of any age, whether you have a puppy or a new rescue or adult dog that needs some help, these groups are perfect for learning all the skills needed to raise a responsive and motivated dog.
"Is this group the right fit for me and my dog?"
This is an active class - some sessions we will be staying in one place, others we will be walking around Bedgebury, so you must be able to handle your dog and walk for a full hour.
You must be open to trying new and different training approaches and willing to practice outside of the classes for best training results.
You and your dog do not need prior training experience and can be complete beginners to this course.
My style of training is reward based, dynamic and involves lots of interaction and engagement between you and your dog. We do not focus on discipline or forced obedience if the dog is not comfortable.
I may make recommendations of things to change in your routine or approach to situations - these suggestions are for the best interest of your dog and their well-being.
