Dog Manners

The programme is broken into 3 levels lasting 8 weeks each and run according to our training terms, which are approximately aligned with school terms (as we have learnt that attendance sometimes drops off in school holidays).

We are very careful not to promote anyone into the class that we feel is not ready as this can be demoralising and frustrating for both the dog and their handler.

When you complete our Puppy Training, or Life Skills programme we will informally assess your progress and advise if we feel that you are ready to progress to Dog Manners 1.

Please do not become despondent if you do not reach this level on your first try.

Not all dogs learn and mature at the same pace and sometimes the delay may simply be to give your dog a few more month’s to ‘grow-up’, or build confidence before moving into the senior class.
