Method of Training
We use positive  reinforcement as the main method of instruction. This is proven to be  the  most effective and enjoyable for the dogs and the handlers. Nothing gives  us  greater pleasure than to see a dog smiling and wagging its tail while  performing an exercise. All classes except puppy socialising are run on a  roll-on roll-off basis which means you can join at any time and stay as long  as  you need to, to achieve your goals
