You’ve done the hard bit — you’ve got a puppy through their first eight weeks of training, or you’ve successfully completed your Real Life Training Course.
Don’t let that momentum stop now.
This is where training gets really good.
Every dog who walks through our door starts climbing the same Tree of Achievement — real milestones, real certificates, real progress you can both feel.
Two streams. One goal — a dog you can take anywhere and do anything with.
Whether you start working towards Pet Gundog Grade 1 or take the Behaviour pathway, your climb starts the moment you walk back through the door.
£75/month — weekly classes
Jump straight in. Choose your stream:
Combination classes (Combi for short)— good behaviour, life skills, real-world reliability. Fun activities for stimulation, including low impact, agility skills.
Nosework— tap into what your dog was born to do. Good behaviour, life skills for the real world, combined with lots of ‘nosey’ things to do with your dog. Tracking, trailing, scentwork and anything in between.
Both pathways follow the Tree of Achievement from day one. Your dog starts working towards their Bronze Award the moment they join.
Class days and times below.
Information about the VIP programme can be found here.
£175 (your special puppy graduate price, available until week 8 of puppy course) — then straight into VIP
Standard price £195
You have 8 weeks to use your 6 sessions, as long as your absence dates are given to us at the beginning of your course.
Does your dog love chasing a ball? Or do you have a gundog breed?
Then this could be your route.
Teaching a formal retrieve process with steadiness and delivery to hand needs specific groundwork before moving into VIP. You still start working towards your Pet Gundog Grade 1, but it means the foundations are solid when you jump into VIP classes. Just 6 sessions, then straight into VIP with the foundations in place.
