Looking for an effective, enjoyable, and supportive training for you and your dog?

For dogs of all ages!

By the end of the first part of the course, your dog will have mastered essential commands such as coming when called, walking on a lead, sitting on command, and lying down on command. They will also learn to enjoy being groomed and handled, relax in company, and give their full attention to you. Additionally, we will address common unwanted behaviours like jumping up, play biting, and excessive barking. You will both be ready to move on to more challenging training to include stays, retrieve and much more.

What Happy Owners Had to Say

“ I want to say a huge thank you! When I first came, I didn’t know if I wanted to keep Hugo and now I couldn’t imagine us without him! He’s still Hugo, cheeky and full-on but so much improved! I can’t thank you enough, it took a weight off my shoulders after our initial consultation, and it’s been so quick to see him settle and become part of our family!”

Heather

“Avril is providing structured training, guidance and support which is addressing and solving other more complicated behavioural difficulties. I would recommend Avril to any dog owner who needs help”

Mike

“Been going to Avril for a while now , but that’s because we so enjoy the ongoing training, we have been doing zoom classes too in lockdown which are also enjoyable. My Dog has changed so much from being trained and I’ve learnt loads too I could never have managed him without the training . Thanks from Jill and Dougie”
