Want to spend time with your dog, teaching and strengthen your bond?

Or are you looking to improve your dog’s pet manners?

Building Skills Class is for you!

Dogs over 9 months of age.

Our aim in this course is to provide you with the skills to train your dog for any real life situation, making it ideal for any pet dog, including our Senior Puppy or Adolescent Dog graduates.

We cover the basics of sit, drop, stay, come, as well as how to keep your dog calm and walk nicely on lead instead of dragging you down the street.  

Exclusive to our Building Skills graduates, check out Continuing Skills – same content but up-skilled with a loyalty-discounted fee.

For worried dogs, see our reactive dog course, My Challenging Canine.

In this course, you will also learn about enrichment, health care, diet and exercise, dog behaviour and body language, and much more!
