Do you want to brush up on your general training skills but aren’t sure where to start?
The Life Skills course is for you!
Get the essential skills you need to feel confident with your dog! This fun-filled foundation class uses science-based techniques and activities you’ll both enjoy. Working with our expert trainers, you’ll improve your dog's basic skills for every day success.
Our classes are small so we can give you the time, space and support to make progress. Whether you have an excitable puppy, a boisterous teenager or an adult set in their ways, we tailor our course content to ensure you’re working at the right level for your dog.
If you’re looking to learn in a relaxed and friendly doggy community, join us!
Your course will include:
- Teaching your dog to want to hang out with you
- Strengthening and developing 'sit' and 'down' in varying scenarios
- Foundations of heelwork
- Teaching your dog that listening to you is the best choice
- Relaxing around people/dogs
- Fun games and activities to make your days a little easier
- Social Manners - how to interact with dogs/humans appropriately
Suitability
This course is for dogs over 18 weeks old who are comfortable in the presence of other dogs and can focus on their owner in a group setting. If your dog is human- or dog-reactive, overly excitable, or easily distracted, a series of 1-2-1 training would be more suitable. Please contact us before booking if you’re unsure if this course is right for you.
Please note: Loose lead walking and recall skills are not covered in this course. Please see
Total Recall and
Lovely Leads.
Location
Classes are held outside at our private training venue at Moat Farm in Stoke Mandeville.

I did this course with my 6 month old Springer as I'm new to dog owning (I had another decades ago...) and wanted to make sure I got off to a good start.
it was a really enjoyable course and we bother learnt a lot. Being an in person course, you get lots of immediate feedback, suggestions and observations, and also learn lots of small things you might otherwise never find out.
The course was great fun, very friendly and informative. So much so, we booked to go on another.

I was a little apprehensive about taking my boisterous 7 month old puppy to the Ultimate Dog course.
Would he be able to do any of the exercises? Would he be well enough behaved or be able to concentrate long enough to participate in the class?
Well, the answer to all of those questions was yes! The class was great fun and delivered by Debbie in such a way that every exercise had multiple levels so that every participant could succeed.
Woody and I learnt new words like parkour and mooching and were given lots of tips and guidance on how to make our recall, loose lead walking and staying more effective.
We even learnt a trick or two. Great course, still a work in progress but getting there, thank you .
