I understand it is very important for you to get to meet your new puppy's training instructor to see if they are suitable for your puppy and you.
So because of this I am now offering a free 30minutes - 1 hour home visit to everyone that decides to sign up to one of my classes at East Horsley Hall or their own personal 1-2-1 training sessions.
Please note there is no training included in this visit it is purely a meet and greet sesson so that can make up your mind if you want to join up to the classes or 1-2-1 consultation.

WOW, I know that sounds like a lot of things for a little puppy to take on board over a course of six weeks but I can assure you that because it is only a foundation level the puppy will only need to show a basic understanding and ability to do it to be able to pass the course.
The puppy foundation course is a great way in which to introduce yourself your puppy to other puppies without him/her become crazy and deaf at the sight of another dog. It is also a good way to get to know me as your trainer and weather you feel comfortable with me or not.

The Novice group is a follow-on course from the foundation course, so each exercise now has to be done under more strict control.
On Location Training
Open to everyone that has completed the Foundation and Novice Classes or have Completed the 1-2-1 Equivalent
This includes everything you have learnt during you Foundation and Novice class but in different outdoor locations with lots of distractions to work against.
More details to follow soon!
On Location - Puppy Socialization Group
This is a group for all puppies from 2nd vaccinations to 20 weeks old, where they can go out together in small groups with other puppy owners and puppies to different locations to able to socialize their puppies to as many different things as possible.
(At the moment this service is in the planning stage and will be up and running soon)
Puppy & Older Dogs
For all puppies and dogs that find themselves too old to join in the group classes can still do the same type of training with a 1-2-1 appointment.
Please note that I set age groups for the classes so that all puppies that attend the classes are in the safty of their own development, age, and general size group.
1-2-1 training Foundation Course = 3 x 1 hour course: 1x hour @ £45.00 per session or 3x 1 hour @ £110.00
1-2-1 Novice Course = 3 x 1 hour course: 1x hour @ £45.00 per session or 3 x 1 hour @ £110.00
To be able to attend my On Location course you will have to have completed both Foundation and Novice level. However if you need to do both course levels on a 1-2-1 basis and you pre-pay for all 6 x1 Hour then you will recieve a £20.00 discount so it will only cost £200.00.
Course Testing
You maybe pleased to know that there is no testing at the end of any of the courses or 1-2-1's, as I feel that an exam can place too much un-needed pressure on the handler and the puppy/dog. Therefore every time you complete an exercise in class to a certain level I mark the exercise off on your progress sheet as complete. When you have succesfully completed every exercise then you have PASSED. |
