The dog training or obedience classes are based on communication between the master and their dog as well as the development of a relationship of mutual trust. The master learns to be a good leader who understands canine language as well as the needs of the dog; the dog learns to pay attention to your requests and at the same time, learning to be a well behaved dog that you’ll be proud to walk everywhere with confidence.

Dog Training / Obedience classes outside in small groups or in private
Once outside the dog is stimulated by all the noises, smells and everything it sees around them. Their senses are so much more powerful than ours, it is much more difficult for the dog to stand and listen to his master. Dog Training outside complements what you have learned in a training facility and solidify the gains of the relationship you have with your dog. If you find that your dog listens inside a training facility, but once outside it constantly pulls and doesn’t listen, then this course is recommended for you.
The dog training classes are offered outside for owners whose dog understands basic commands inside and previously followed a level 1 course. This course is offered in small groups of four dogs or less, also privately.
Remember, space is limited. To book, please contact us by email or phone.
