The dogs will be trained using positive reinforcement ✔️ — never harsh methods. ❌ Spaces are limited, so please book through the website to secure your place. Once booked, you’ll receive an email with important information about what to bring on the night. We prefer that one person attends per dog (maximum two if necessary). ⚠️ If your dog is aggressive or highly reactive, they cannot attend this class (unless it’s specifically for reactive dogs). For these dogs, we recommend arranging a one-to-one session with our trainer instead.
