Please contact me or use the contact form for the date of the next puppy course
Outside classes provide more freedom to socialise and learn. The area that we use is public but has minimal distractions and helps puppy carers to make good decisions for their puppy and helps teach good foundations and social skills.
- All puppies must have completed their puppy vaccinations before attending.
​
- Puppies will need a comfortable harness, and long training lead (but not an extendable lead) and their favourite treats.
If you need help finding a harness or training lead please do ask.
Recall Courses
One of the most frustrating problems you can have with your dog is watching them disappear after a group of other dogs in the distance
Denton Road, Off Rochester Way, DA1 3QU
Approx 60 minutes per class
£75.00 for 4 sessions (the 4th session is a free session and has been added as a review to help dogs and owners to consolidate all aspects of the recall course which we covered in the first 3 lessons)
Your dog will need a well fitted comfortable harness for your dog, a long training lead and your dogs VERY favourite treats.
Notes will be sent ahead of the first session
Recall is quite honestly one of the most difficult skills to teach your dog. Many people initially teach their puppies recall during classes but puppies become adolescent dogs, and they become more independent as the months tick past!
​
Some breeds also have a high prey drive which only make things more difficult
I have taught hundreds of dogs to return when they are called through teaching their carers the building blocks of recall. The most important components of a good recall are a solid foundation and a strong bond with your dog
​
The recall course will boost your skills and the bond with your dog and help you towards the perfect recall.
