Canine Club
Canine Club: £65 per month ongoing memberships
This is a follow up to our foundation 8 week course and involves ongoing training games, levels and structures for the dogs to work towards.
We believe that training is an ongoing process and therefore aim to provide ongoing support and instruction through different life stages. You can also go on to achieve different levels based on individual achievements (Bronze, Silver, Gold). This is eligible once you have completed the foundation course and there is no age limit to these classes. So would be suitable for dogs who have had basic training and who want to work on more with their dog but also as a follow on from puppy classes.
We will offer more days/times as interest potentially grows.
Those who are also enrolled onto canine club can have discounted other services such as workshops, courses and 1-1 sessions
