Each new course is limited to an intake of no more than 8 dogs and we operate on a first come first served basis.

Before registering on the course, your dog will be required to meet one of the trainers for an assessment. Feel free to pop in with your dog any Monday evening for a chat. Please bring your dogs up to date vaccination record with you.
If you decide you would like to join us, then our trainer will take your details and add you to the reserve list. A small deposit will secure the next available space.

The beginner's course includes a brief talk followed by an introduction to various exercises, a sample of which are as follows:
