Levels Training System
Our Training Programme
Our proven system makes training your dog a breeze.
Our training approach centers on three key principles: Focus, Impulse Control, and Obedience. What sets our training programme apart is the simplicity and effectiveness of our method – it’s strategically broken down into manageable “stepping stones” that are both achievable and rewarding.
This positive, relationship-based approach ensures that every step of the training process is not only doable but also highly gratifying for both owners and dogs. With an easy-to-follow curriculum paired with a system of rewards, participants can progress seamlessly from Foundation training to Real Life Dog Skills, Out and About Manners, and Fun and Games.
The streamlined structure and bite-sized lessons make this training program accessible and enjoyable for dogs and their owners alike. By mastering the fundamentals of Focus, Impulse Control, and Obedience, you and your canine companion will develop a strong bond while gaining the skills needed to thrive in any setting.
