Build Confidence
Help your dog become more comfortable learning and working in an environment with other dogs and people around them.
Training with others
Real-life learning in a supportive environment.
Group training gives dogs the opportunity to practise their skills around other dogs, people and everyday distractions, while owners learn how to support them in a calm and positive way.
Classes are designed to be encouraging and practical, with a focus on helping each dog and owner make progress at their own pace.
Why train in a group?
More than just a class.
Training alongside other dogs can create valuable opportunities to practise the skills you need in everyday life.
Practise Around Distractions
Take the skills you have been learning and practise them while there are interesting things happening around you.
Learn With Other Owners
Share the experience with other dog owners and learn from seeing different dogs, situations and training approaches.
What we can work on
Practical skills for everyday life.
The exact focus of each class will depend on the dogs attending, their experience and the goals of the group.
Focus and engagement — helping your dog
learn to pay attention to you in different environments.
Loose-lead walking — developing comfortable
and practical walking skills.
Recall — building reliable responses and
making coming back to you rewarding.
Settling — helping your dog learn how to
relax and settle when there is activity around them.
Impulse control — developing the ability
to pause, think and make good choices.
Communication — learning to recognise
what your dog is communicating and respond appropriately.
Finding the right fit
Is group training right for your dog?
Group training can be a great way to practise everyday skills, but every dog is different. The right starting point depends on your dog's needs, experience and comfort level.
Puppies
A chance to build positive foundations and learn important skills while discovering the world.
Adolescents
A structured environment to channel energy, practise skills and continue building good habits.
Adult Dogs
Continue learning, strengthen existing skills or work on practical behaviours that make everyday life easier.
Owners
Learn how to communicate clearly, reinforce useful behaviours and support your dog with confidence.
How it works
A simple approach to group training.
The aim is to make every class useful, positive and enjoyable for both dogs and their people.
