Obedience Program

Transform Your Dog with Reliable, Real-World Obedience

Programme Overview

Our 5-week Obedience Programme transforms dogs of all ages and breeds into reliable, well-mannered companions. Whether you're starting from scratch or refining existing skills, this comprehensive programme builds the foundation for a lifetime of good behaviour.

Through reward-based, science-backed training methods, you'll learn to communicate clearly with your dog whilst building trust and strengthening your bond. We focus on three core pillars: foundation commands for everyday reliability, advanced skills for real-world challenges and practical application in distracting environments.

Small class sizes (maximum 5 dogs) ensure individual attention, whilst group dynamics provide valuable socialisation and distraction training. By graduation, you'll have a dog who responds reliably to commands, walks politely on lead and behaves calmly in public - transforming daily life for both of you.
