Progression Class - Level 1

This comprehensive progression class is based indoors and is designed to follow straight on from our popular Puppy Foundation Class to develop your pup's training further. This is also the ideal next step if your dog has completed our Beginners Class or First Steps Class.

​

Our classes are kept to a small size with a maximum of 4 or 5 dogs to ensure that you have enough space to feel comfortable and enough support from the trainer to succeed.

 

Developing a good training relationship with your dog is an important way to improve both your dog's behaviour and the relationship between you, making your dog much more likely to listen and respond in future, particularly for adolescent dogs.

 

The topics taught in this class include:

🐶 Obedience  progression (Sit/Stand/Down/Stay)

🐶 Lead walking progression – moving together as a team

🐶 Building on recall – get your puppy to come back when called

🐶 Developing better impulse control

🐶 Progressing manners around food including ‘leave it’

🐶 Improving manners around people and dogs

🐶 Simple tricks and fun focus games to get your puppy to engage with you easily

🐶 Understanding adolescence

 

Pre-requisites: - your dog must have some basic obedience such as sit/down and be able to wait/stay for at least 5-10 seconds. Having attended a class previously is preferable but not mandatory. 

​

This is a low-pressure, relaxed, fun class with no formal assessment, so owners don’t need to worry about that. We just want you and your dog to build a great relationship through relaxed and fun training sessions.

 

At the end of this 4 week progression class, your dog will be presented with a certificate of completion and invited to join our Progression Level 2 class, where you can take the next steps in your training and secure the skills your dog has learned.

 

Classes can be booked online and payment is accepted via debit/credit card, Paypal and Klarna. We cannot refund or replace missed sessions, so please ensure you can attend all the session dates before booking.
