Life Skills Dog Training Classes
Our Life Skills classes are suitable for dogs aged 5 months and over, and are the perfect follow-on from our Puppy Course.
Whether you're looking to build everyday manners, improve focus around distractions or simply enjoy training together, these friendly, supportive classes are designed to help you and your dog continue learning together.
