Please note your dogs needs to be happy around people as those who are resting their dogs in their cars will be watching the team who is working. The dogs will need time to rest and process the newly acquired skills so there will be periods during which your dog will stay in your car. Please ensure your dog is happy with this and does not bark consistently during this time. Please note we cannot accept bitches in season or dogs that are unwell at our sessions.
