For puppies under five months of age. Our Puppy Play to Learn class is tailored for the young puppy mind. Bridging socialization exercises and teamwork exercises with more traditional curriculum like sit, down, stay, leave-it, come, baby leash manners and every day handling, this class begins a lifetime of connection and good manners work -all through playing games.
Our first class is information only, to get you a step ahead of your dog.
Important details: Please note Leash Reactivity is not designed as a socialization class. We will not be working on greeting, meeting or playing with other dogs. We are strictly dealing with being able to see and pass by dogs/people/other triggers without reaction. In the early weeks dogs will be taking breaks throughout the hour, most typically in the vehicle. In cold or hot weather you may leave your car running and/or stay with your dog on their down-time.
Please note this class takes place in the Green Space to the East of Ruth Pawson school, in the Uplands.
This class will cover foundations and advanced training skills for Loose Leash Walking and Recall. With over 20 games to play, let’s get you enjoying your dog with two of the arguably most needed dog training skills.
Dogs of all ages, including puppies are welcome at this class.
Students will need a long-line for this class.
Please note this is an outdoor class, taking place in the Uplands.
For beginners four months of age and older. Encourage focus and partnership by playing. Learn sit, down, come, stay, loose leash walking and more with games-based training. Play your way to a well-trained dog.
In this continuation on from Intro to Nosework, we’ll introduce you to both Pine and Thyme scents, start searching for multiple hides, make our search areas both larger, and more complicated, and take time to continue to build sticky, obvious alerts.
For this class your dog will require a harness or other “nosework exclusive” piece of working equipment.
