Where We Train
Training4dogs has a acquired its own dedicated dog training ground at Wield.
We are delighted to announce that Training4Dogs now has its own large paddock situated in a delightful and picturesque spot in central Wield, only 100 yards from Wield Village Hall which has always provided the main focus for our dog training classes. Our new dog training ground will mean that we can concentrate our activities in one geographical area and it will give us the opportunity to move our classes outside whenever the weather permits and also allow us to offer a wider range of activities and events in a safe and dedicated environment.
Agility classes will begin on 13th of March with classes at 13:00 and 17:00, further classes are scheduled as the evening light improves, see details of our agility classes on this site.
New activities for 2006 include a wide variety of full and half day Master Classes including Clicker and TAG training, Introduction to Dog Agility, Introduction to Tracking and Scent work and Training Clinics. See details in the relevant sections of this site.
Our puppy socialisation classes are strictly for the babies. Puppies can join from 8 weeks of age or as soon as they have had their first inoculation. From 8 to 14 weeks puppies are at their most receptive and the need for socialisation at it is most imperative. Our premises are scrupulously disinfected and our classes very carefully managed to ensure that puppies get lots of experiences - all of them good. 
We offer adult training classes at a variety of times in the afternoon and evening. Numbers in our classes are strictly limited to ensure that everyone gets plenty of time and attention and the chance to fulfill their potential. Our classes are carefully planned and managed, we don't take any adult dog until it has been assessed to ensure that it will benefit from learning a class environment and to ensure that classes remain orderly and conducive to learning. 
We run our Dog Agility classes from March until the end of September, outdoors on a grass surface. Our Agility classes cater for all levels of experience from complete beginners to competition level. Our Instructors are Agility Club Approved and our equipment competition quality BUT this emphasis is on fun and we welcome all breeds of dog and all ages of handlers.
Most of our training takes place in private 1-2-1 sessions, sometimes these are aimed at dealing with a specific challenge such as not coming back or pulling on the lead. More often private lessons are simply more convenient and better focused to the needs of the individual. Adult dogs will need to be assessed at a private 1-2-1 session before being admitted to our Adult Training Classes 
Our Puppy Socialisation and Adult Training Classes are based on the KCGCDS which promotes sociable behaviour, good manners and reinforces the social, legal and practical responsibilities of dog ownership. T4D Senior Instructor is one of a very few Kennel Club Qualified Assessors for all levels of the KCGCDS, contributing to our outstanding success rate.
We have full programme of activities for all levels of participants. We have adult socialisation classes for those dogs and owners who could enjoy their walks a little more. There are also Introductory classes in Agility, Clicker and Tag training, Tracking and Scent work, plus some special Training Clinics for those who want a quick consultation on a specific concern or problem.
