Occasional Courses 

Introduction to Treiball Training

Treibball means Ball Driving. ​ Treibball is a sport of distance skill and teamwork. Dogs learn to push a ball with their nose into a goal with the guidance of their handler.

Introduction to Platform Training

A platform provides a visual barrier for your dog, which aids them in being able to hold position for longer periods of time. Platform dog training can be used  when asking a dog to sit or stand still in a specific spot.

Variety Course

Each week on the variety course is different - from formal training to Fun Brain Games and more besides.

Private 1 hour sessions are held at the training centre in Rossington.

These 1 hour private sessions are ideal for owners who wish to work on a specific behaviour with their dog i.e. pulling on the lead, come back when called, grooming, health checks etc.

These sessions are also for owners who may have a dog that struggles being around or just seeing unfamiliar dogs and people.  I allow dogs the time to build up a relationship with me and my 'psychology dog' can help them learn vital 'dog friendly skills'.

Private sessions can also help build up the confidence of the nervous\anxious dog, outside of the home and for those who can't be left home alone without being in distress.

Also these sessions can help those owners who struggle to attend a group course due to work/personal commitments, as these sessions are on an individual basis and can be booked at a convenient time to suit.
