* = subject to availability, terms & conditions apply.

 In some instances for example where a dog;

  • Has a behaviour problem.
  • Is excited or upset in the presence of other dogs.              

Then classes might not be the best option because in this state of mind stress levels will be increased and learning will not take place. In these cases the best option is one to one where there are very few disruptive distractions and stress levels are greatly reduced. If you are unsure about what is best for your dog contact us and we will advise you.
