5 day intensive dog training

Our 5 day intensive course consists of 5 days of daycare, a one hour one-on-one lesson with Lauren plus a one hour handover consultation with you.  In a five day intensive your dog will learn basic manners, sit, drop, heal, sit stay, drop stay plus a reinforcement walk.  Your dog will enjoy a play in the morning in our daycare, followed by a one hour training session and a play in the afternoon.  Rest assured by the end of the 5 day intensive, your dog will go home tired, happy and well trained.  You must attend the handover on the 5th day where you will have a demonstration of what your dog has achieved and learnt and it is then that you will be given the tools to go forward with the training that has already been established with your dog.

9 day intensive dog training

Our 9 day intensive not only includes all of the above but also extends the training to longer stays, plus your dog will be taken out into environments where it will use everything it has been taught in all situations which will further reinforce and perfect the behaviours.

6 week mild behaviour correction

Does your dog have on lead issues, hate loud noises, skateboards, people in hats, wont come when called or other mild behaviour issues?  Then this is the course for you.  You can attend a 6 week training intensive course where you will be helped to correct all of these behaviours in a small group.  Feedback from this course has been incredible and owners and dogs are becoming much happier in partnership after completion of the course.
