"Love the session of recall. Loads of games to use to practice. Fun and friendly."
Theresa & Daisy

I attended a recall training workshop here, one of the many classes offered, and I highly recommend it. Sian and Nathan give very helpful directions to find their property, and tell you right from the start how they will structure the class, so you know what to expect, which puts you at your ease straight away.
They pay attention to both you and your dog, and when they’re busy with other dogs you can take some time to put into practice what you’ve been shown. They are clearly devoted to dogs and knowledgeable about dog behaviour, and the whole atmosphere is relaxed and informal while at the same time you’re learning useful lessons and tips.
I’m looking forward to putting into practice what I learned at their workshop. The dogs have so much fun, and even my grumpy little chihuahua enjoyed herself!

Post Lockdown Puppy
Did you get a puppy durning lockdown, or have a young puppy just as we went into lockdown? Many poeple are now struggling with being in this situation now the restrictions are lifting and finding that their puppy is either very excited or nervous because they weren't able to get out and see the world or meet other people or dogs during this period.
This workshop is specially designed for these dogs. To give you the starting blocks to helping your puppy over this peroid and out into the big wide world
