Coming Spring/Summer 2010

Doggie Days Out. We will be holding social dog walks for Have A Good Dog Good Citizen Graduates. We will match suitable dogs and give them an opportunity to practice their doggie social skills with other class graduates. Learn to read your dogs body language when mixing with other dogs and meet other Have A Good Dog human graduates too!

Have a Good Dog recently held a FREE Fun Introduction to Agility event for dogs and owners that have completed at least two of our courses. We had a great time and all the dogs did really well considering that for the majority it was their first go at agility. Not quite as calm and sedate as our Good Citizen Classes, but on the whole a well behaved bunch! We hope to run more of these sessions in the future.

Starting out on the right paw! Thinking of getting a new puppy? Just got a new puppy and want to give them the best start? We now offer home visits and in house training for your new arrival. These sessions will teach you everything you need to know about puppy training at home.

Not sure if your dog will be happy attending classes or meeting other dogs? Don't worry because in addition to a pre training questionnaire, you have a pre-training assessment in a class situation at our Gilesgate venue at a nominal cost of £10 *. The session lasts half and hour and your dog will be assessed during the appointment around the trainers dogs. It's safe and it will give you and the trainer the opportunity to see whether your dog will be happy in class. If not, we will discuss booking one to one training.

* This fee is for the assessment and is not refundable.

Personal recommendations will only be made to APDT approved trainers or those who are appropriately qualified with a sound understanding of learning theory.

For behaviour consults you can also contact Jo Churlish MAPDT 0878 at jc.pets@yahoo.co.uk

Telephone Advice - I will only offer e-mail and/or telephone support for existing clients with dogs I have actually seen. All behaviour clients receive long term support if it is requested.
