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.
New for 2006 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. 
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.
