It may sound strange but unlike a lot of 'training classes' you do actually get tutored in how to train your dog. We will show you how to achieve the desired behaviours with one of the class dogs, how to make it as easy for you and your dog to learn as quickly as possible. We don't use our own dogs to demo or just have you walking around in circles each week doing the same thing, week after week, expecting you to just know what to do.
Whilst we are based in Airdrie we cover home visits and have owners attending our dog training courses from all over - Airdrie, Coatbridge, Cumbernauld, Glasgow, Baillieston, Uddingston, Gartcosh, Kilsyth, Paisley, Bellshill, Motherwell, Lanark, Holytown, Armadale, Shotts, Falkirk and many more areas. All class group courses are held in a hall in Airdrie town centre - postcode ML6 6EA, click here to see the MAP of the hall where all the dog training courses/classes are held.

Luna Newfoundland
We cannot emphasise enough how much Luna has benefited from and enjoyed each and every class she has attended. From the very first puppy class where we learnt how to use clicker training and basic commands to the advanced class where we are working with her off lead she has steadily improved and turned into a contented and lovable bear!
With Luna being a giant breed these classes have proved to be absolutely essential. We are able to control her and be confident around other dogs and people with her. Luna looks forward to class each week and loves seeing all her buddies! She is truly a happy dog :)

We've just started week 1 of the course but its going well so far, here's a quote from an owner -
"Just to let you know my thought of
last night’s class was very impressive. I was quite surprised by the way everyone
(including the dogs) worked well to keep as calm and controlled as much as
possible. I am looking forward to the next few weeks to see just how the dogs
and owners improve". Thanks, Joyce Scott and Jack 14/07/11 |
