Our dog training process

Register online to enjoy all our activities

Our wide-ranging set of dog training classes covers the whole spectrum, from basic puppy socialising and life skills through to various advanced activity classes for more advanced dogs with equal enjoyment.

Once your dog is registered with us you will be assigned a slot on the timetable for weekly training classes, which are priced at £65 a month for a 45-minute session. Some activities, workshops and courses are held monthly, bookable in advance online.

If you’re not sure which course of training will suit your dog’s needs and abilities, never fear – we’ll start out with a training assessment where we can recommend the best route and length of course for your dog or puppy.

Training is usually conducted in pre-booked group sessions (with restricted numbers) at our Warminster centre, and we do offer one-to-one training when needed.

Please see the schematic we have drawn up to explain our complete training process through the ages and stages, and descriptions below for the adolescent and adult courses available. 

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact us and ask, preferably using our online contact form.
