Your dog is 6 months or older
There is no maximum age. Whether your dog is young, mature or enjoying their later years, there is always more to learn.
Skills for real life
Training isn't just about teaching your dog behaviours. It's about helping them navigate the world with confidence while building a stronger relationship with you.
The Life Skills Course is a fun, interactive five-week course for dogs aged 6 months and over. You'll practise practical skills in a group environment, learn how to work around distractions and develop tools that make everyday life easier for both ends of the lead.
Is this course right for you?
The course is suitable for dogs at all stages of adulthood and for handlers at all levels of experience.
You want useful everyday skills
Work on focus, lead manners, impulse control, settling and other skills that can make everyday situations easier.

Learning together
Practising around other dogs and people gives you opportunities to build your skills beyond the quiet environment of your living room.
A positive group experience
This course is designed for dogs who are comfortable working in a group environment with other dogs and people. If your dog is showing aggressive or reactive behaviour towards dogs or humans, private training may be a more appropriate starting point.
