1-2-1 Obedience Training

Absolutely anything can be taught in the sessions except where fear, aggression, and anxiety are present.

• Basic manners
• Walking nicely on a lead
• Behaving well in the house with family and guests
• Teaching the dog not to steal
• Teaching the dog to come back
• Teaching the dog not to jump up
• Working on our levels system and the kennel club good citizen scheme award on a one-to-one basis

We think it’s really important that the whole family can be involved in your Dog Training. If you have any family members who wish to come along, please feel free to bring them along. You can attend with up to four people, including children. Please make sure an adult always accompanies children.

We advise booking a Behavioural 121 with Sarah or Miranda (Please Click Here) for this issue. We would also advise booking a behavioural 121 for any resource guarding, aggression or anxiety cases. Our obedience 121s are for walking nicely on lead, recall, not jumping up, trick training etc.

Flat collar, harness or head collar and lead. Please don’t bring extender leads, slip leads or choke chains.

Good quality treats such as cheese, JR pate, chicken or other soft meaty treats – not their normal kibble. Treats can be purchased at the centre or by visiting www.naturalchoicepetfoods.co.uk where you can use the ‘pick up’ option at the checkout so they’re ready to collect before your session.

Poo bags – Just in case!

Small blanket/bed

Favourite toy/tuggy & a filled Kong – your dog will need something to keep them busy when your trainer is explaining the exercises!

Please make sure you wear suitable clothes and shoes for these sessions, pockets or a treat bag (treat bags also available at the centre) are essential.

Please feel free to bring your own water and your dog’s water bowl unless you are happy for your dog to use the shared communal bowls.

It is unlikely that your trainer will be able to solve your problem in one session, so we always suggest you book three one-to-ones, and you can do this in a bundle. 1-2-1 sessions for obedience are £32 for a 25-minute session; however, you can book three 121 sessions for £80, which saves £16.

If you decide we are not the trainers for you, you can have any unused 121s refunded as long as you give us 48 hours ‘ notice. Booking sessions in advance prevents you from waiting long periods between sessions, due to our popularity and reputation our trainers often get booked up weeks in advance.

Ideally, you will see your trainer weekly or fortnightly, but if your budget or lifestyle prohibits this, please leave no longer than three to four weeks between sessions.

After you arrive, please head to our reception/shop and let a member of our team know you’re here. There are benches out the front where you can wait or you can browse the shop and your trainer will find you.
