CONTINUING EDUCATION - BEYOND BASICS CLASS for dogs who have completed Primary Puppy Class.  

Obedience for Fun and Trick Training - this class is the next step after Primary Puppy, giving you the chance to improve and fine tune the skills you learnt and add many new ones.  We work on lead skills near other dogs, increasing distractions with recalls and added difficulty with stays, as well as refining greeting skills.

There are Sniffing Games, and Trick Training, including tricks that have a practical use, are good for your dog's flexibility and fitness and ones that have fun props.  

This class is flexible in content and can be adapted to what attendees need, but the aim it to keep up your dog's training, confidence and social skills.

CONTINUING EDUCATION - BACKYARD AGILITY - for dogs who have completed Primary Puppy Class.

Backyard Agility - start to teach your dog this fun activity, it is only really basic exercises (hence the term Backyard), not intended for anyone who wants to do agility seriously! 

This course focuses on “slow and steady” not “fast and furious”, neither you nor your dog need to be able to run a marathon to do it!

Teach your dog to run through a tunnel, go over low jumps, weave through poles.
