This special one-night-only class will use only positive reinforcement — no harsh methods. Spaces are very limited, so please book through our website to secure your spot. Once booked, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a link detailing what to bring on the night. Please check your spam/junk folder if you don’t see it, or add robin@robinbatesdogtraining.com to your contacts in advance. We kindly ask that only one person attends per dog (maximum two if necessary). For safety reasons, if your dog is aggressive or highly reactive, they cannot attend this class (unless it’s specifically for reactive dogs). In these cases, we recommend booking a one-to-one session with our trainer instead.
