Intermediate Classes

Intermediate course. This is 6 weeks in duration and builds on the knowledge gained during the Beginners course.

Your training will step up as you and your dog learn more challenging behaviours and you will become proficient in your training skills.

The partnership between you and your dog will really begin to flourish as you work together towards honing new and existing behaviours.

Advanced Classes

Our last six-week block, where we will take the skills learned as an intermediate and really test our training skills.

By the end of the Advanced classes you'll have a dog that pays attention to you. Looks to you for guidance. You'll be a patient trainer who has a well-behaved happy dog. 

These life skills group classes are an essential part of every day to help our dogs interact with us.
