Service Description

For dogs over 18 Months. Or those who have completed the Awesome Acorn Criteria or other puppy classes. Classes for complete beginners We will work through: Lead walking Recall Leave it Settle Sit Down Stay Focus Self control Building confidence Polite Greetings Working around distractions and any other areas of concern you have. Please note these aren't socialisation classes as such.  I don't advocate dog socialisation classes as I think they can be rather intense for dogs that lack confidence, and can encourage puppies and young dogs to say hello to EVERY dog they meet.  I prefer they learn to ignore and listen to you in such environments as that's what is expected from them in future.   You can work towards the Awesome Acorn Journey Award (only if you want to), which cover what I consider to be key skills for dogs to have.   Classes will be held outside or inside depending on weather. Classes are 5 dogs per class. If you want to read more of the criteria for the Strong Roots Award, they can be found here:  https://www.fellowshipdogtraining.co.uk/journeyawards All classes are reward based and run to my ethos that training should be stress free and fun for both of you.   You will need to bring a flat collar or harness, a fixed length lead, treats (high and low value) and a mat or bed for your dog.
