Foundations & Progression

Foundation Training  is an essential part of being a dog owner. It not only to establishes a strong bond between you and your friend, but it also ensures their safety and well-being. You can choose between our Bespoke Training or our group sessions.

​

Whether brushing up on previously learned skills or teaching youngsters from scratch - we will cover those super important foundation skills and teach with kindness and empathy, understanding what our dogs are struggling with and how we can support them and set them up for success!

Groups are kept small with a max of 6 owner and dog teams to ensure there is plenty of time for owners to ask questions and both ends of the lead can learn without being overwhelmed.
