Adolescent Dogs Course

£90.00

The course objective is to give dog owners a practical and theoretical knowledge of how to proof commands so that their dog responds to them in all situations. It is to help owners gain better control over their dogs around things that usually make them distracted and unresponsive. Dogs learn at different rates and are better at some things more than another; therefore, exercises will be adapted to suit each dog’s individual ability. Owners will need to practice with their dog for a short period regularly in order to get the most out of this course.

Price: £90

Please see our Events Calendar for course dates and enquire for availability.

Clear

Collette Urquhart only uses science based positive training methods to reinforce the behaviours that are desirable from our dogs. Positive reinforcement training is force free, fun and very effective.

Collette has used these methods with great success to train her two Labrador Retrievers and won numerous awards in gundog working tests, a hugely rewarding hobby for her and her dogs, in which they have to work together as a team to get the job done. It fulfills the dogs’ natural drive to retrieve game which makes for happy and content gundogs. She regularly works at a shoot and competes in field trials, which are the top level of gundog competition.
