Why train in a small group?

Training alongside other dogs introduces healthy distractions in a safe, controlled setting. Our intimate classes never exceed four dogs, striking the perfect balance between social learning and direct instructor support.

Structured for real-world success

While one-to-one lessons are ideal for complex issues, group classes teach dogs how to focus and listen when other dogs are nearby. By completing weekly exercises, you and your dog will develop clear communication, calm social habits, and the opportunity to earn recognised IMDT certificates.

How to book your space

Due to our four-dog limit, places fill quickly. Get in touch to request our registration form and submit your dog's vaccination documents. Once confirmed, we will welcome you to our sessions at the United Reformed Church in Swanage.
