​​Why Group Dog Training?​
Group dog training classes offer a fantastic way to socialise your dog, learn essential obedience skills, and have fun with other dog owners. By participating in a group setting, your dog can interact with other dogs and people in the right way, helping to build confidence and good social skills. ​​All dogs have different learning styles and abilities, you will get to know your dog inside out.
Benefits of Group Dog Training:
-
​Socialisation: Group classes provide a controlled environment for your dog to interact with other dogs and people. This helps them learn appropriate social behaviours and reduce fear or aggression.
-
Training and Learning: Group classes offer a structured learning environment where you and your dog can practice basic obedience skills like sit, stay, come, and down.
-
​Positive Reinforcement: Most group classes emphasise positive reinforcement techniques, making training fun and rewarding for both you and your dog.
-
Owner Support: You will meet other dog owners who are facing similar challenges, providing support and encouragement.
-
Affordable: Group classes are generally more affordable than one-on-one training.
What to Expect in a Group Class​
We will run 5 classes of 1.5hrs and each group class will involve a mix of training exercises and social play. You will learn basic obedience commands and how to use positive reinforcement techniques to motivate your dog. The trainer will also provide tips on socialisation, behaviour modification, and problem-solving.
​
Please note:
-
Puppies must be fully vaccinated to attend a group class,
-
If your dog has no manners at home or out and about I strongly recommend that you first sign up for a 1-2-1 or a puppy package depending on your dogs age.​
-
To get the desired results from my classes you will need to listen, learn, be committed, and lastly be prepared to work hard at home.
-
Each class is different and we recognise dogs don't always adhere to schedules so we will deal with real life issues as they happen.
-
Each session will include a Q&A to address anything that needs further clarification.
-
These groups are designed for specific behavioral issues, such as reactivity, integration challenges, and nervous or rescue dogs, where a group environment is beneficial. If your dog is not yet sociable, please begin with one-on-one training first.​
