If your dog listens at home but not outside, pulls on the lead, or ignores recall — this course is designed for you. Our Foundation dog training classes are designed to expand on your training from puppy classes and focuses on real-world control, engagement, and reliability, not just basic obedience.
Our classes are kept small with a maximum of 6 dogs ensuring that you are receiving the expert attention that you expect from a qualified and experienced dog trainer.
As well as learning life skills with your dog you will also have the option of on going e-mail and WhatsApp support from Angela throughout the duration of the course including a WhatsApp group for everyone on the course to share progress and ask questions.
The classes are not suitable for any dogs with people/dog aggression issues and they may benefit more from a Behaviour Consultation before being ready to join classes later on.
* Next available course will commence Monday 1st June 2026

Have just finished a 6 week group course with Angela and couldn’t recommend it enough. We have learnt so much and can’t believe how much improvement our spaniel has made in such a short period.
Angela is just brilliant , super knowledgeable , relaxed and friendly. We will miss going every Monday night - Adam
