What training techniques do you use?
Our main objective is to assist members to have well-socialised, well-mannered dogs. We use non-forceful methods and positive reinforcement. We focus on teaching you to build a strong relationship with your dog based on leadership, trust and cooperation using science based techniques that work in the real world.
Do you train in hot or bad weather?
No:
- If the temperature is 35 degrees or over at 5pm on training nights there is no training.
- If there are thunderstorms, lightning, high winds or heavy rain there is no training.
- If there is a road weather alert there is no training.
