We hold training clinics at regular intervals in the village of Wield either at the Village Hall or our Training Ground. Training Clinics provide an opportunity for dogs owners who have a query or concern about one aspect of their dog's behaviour or about some training issue to gain access to expert opinion without the need to book classes or a 1-2-1 lesson. Training Clinics can cover a wide variety of subjects from concerns about child/dog relationships to pulling on the lead or nuisance barking. Our clinics are designed to help owners quickly resolve one particular aspect of training or behaviour. 1-2-1- sessions last 15 minutes per handler and dog, if necessary double sessions can be booked. Sessions can be booked in advance or owners can turn up on the day and wait until a session is available. Pre-booked sessions can be at any specified time during the Training Clinic, pre-paid clients will take priority. If you are pre-booking a place please give us a short description of the problem or issue that you are seeking to address, we would normally expect you to bring your dog to the Training Clinic. To see when our next Training Clinic is taking place please 
Our Other Classes
Training Clinics are just one element of part of our overall programme of Dog Training and Canine Activities. We run classes most days of the week except Sundays and we also have a programme of special events throughout the year. Our Agility Introduction Days are usually over subscribed and run monthly on Saturdays from Spring until Autumn, Agility classes are also very popular and run on weekdays and weekends from early March to late October (or later if the weather permits). We have Puppy Socialisation Classes every week in the early evening and regular Dog Training classes during the week (afternoon and evening) and on Saturday mornings. Most of our work is 1-2-1 training and behavioural work as well as pre-ownership consultations, these take place at the Clients home or if appropriate at our private Training Ground. We are very proud of our high pass rate for the Kennel Club Good Citizens Test and of our success as a family friendly organisation. Please see the information on this page and elsewhere on our web site for further details of our classes.

Please don't turn up at classes without prior arrangement, otherwise you will be asked to wait outside until all classes have finished and we have time to discuss your requirements.
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 also offer a 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.
