The first time you come to our Puppy Socialisation Puppy Parties, Puppy Classes, Dog Training Classes or Agility Classes you MUST bring your dog's inoculation certificate with you, if you don't you will not be able to bring your puppy or dog onto the premises.
Dress Sense
Your puppy or dog must be on a collar and lead when at classes, we recommend a flat nylon or leather collar and a light lead. Do not bring your puppy or dog to classes on a retractable lead such as a "flexi lead". Retractable leads are fine in a secure open space but are totally unsuitable for training classes where the lead is your "telephone" to your puppy or dog.
Dress suitably remembering that a lot of time at classes is spent on the floor with your puppy of dog. Trousers are most suitable for training as they don't flap around and won't distract the puppies.
A pocket or "bum-bag" is handy for Tit-bits .
Wear soft shoes, puppies and dogs tend to get all over the place and heavy boots and high heels are a real hazard when teaching a puppy or dog to walk beside you!
Bring plastic bags so that if your puppy or dog makes a mess you can clear up.
Bring your puppy or dog's favourite toy.
Bring a suitable grooming tool with you, one of the things that you will need to be able to do is handle and groom your dog.
And of course remember to bring your puppy or dog!
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 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. 
if you are considering a puppy or rescue dog we can offer advice on selecting the right breed, finding the right pet, health schemes, training, worming, preparing for a new pet, socialisation, introduction to other pets, exercise, daily routines etc. As successful and reputable breeders and experts in the field of puppy care and rearing we are uniquely placed to help. 
If your dog has a specific behaviour problem with which you need assistance and advice we may be able to help. With a great deal of experience and qualifications in canine behaviour we can work with your to resolve issues as simple as pulling on the lead and not coming back or deal with more problematic behaviour such as dog to dog or dog to person aggression, anxiety, possessiveness, etc.
