"My dog does not need training"
Not Every Dog Needs Training… But Every Dog (and their human) Benefits From Positive, Force-free Learning - Imagine someone saying to you that "you don't need to read that book", or "need to watch the latest episode of your favourite TV programme" or "need to listen to your favourite music". Of course nobody would say that, because we know that those activities enrich our life and make us happy.
It's the same with dog training. Learning and developing new skills enrich your dog's life. So it doesn't matter if you have a pooch that is practically perfect in everyway or the spawn of Cujo - out of control and driving you mad - training with your dog improves their quality of life and your relationship with them. Read more about the benefits of training with your dog in our blog, Training is not just for Puppies and Bad Dogs.
"Training is just for puppies"
We don't stop a human's education after nursery school and a dog's education is not finished after puppy training! Our dogs are constantly learning and changing, and whilst puppy training gives them a great start, the key to a calm, confident, happy dog is to continue their education throughout their life.
We have training options suitable for adolescents through to senior dogs, from beginners to advanced levels. So no matter what their age or level, we will always have something for you and your dog.
