very quickly and by the time training clubs start again in Feb 2015, your puppy could have turned into the nightmare adolescent monster from Hell!

However, this need not happen. Our Summer School will allow you to continue practical training over the holiday season. Older dogs needing to brush up on the basics are welcome as well. Overcome the most common, important and frustrating problems: no more unruly behaviour; no more pulling on the lead; no more selective deafness; teach self-control, and social skills.

• Behaviour problems
• Understanding Your Dog
• Training issues and concepts
• Training Techniques

There will also be one Open Agenda session, in which you may raise any issues, and have a general brainstorm.

This class is for a flexible group of fellow-enthusiasts who want the opportunity to train over the holiday period. Troubleshoot some of your existing training problems, brush up of training methods, fine-tune your technique… but best of all, relax and have some fun, try something different. Can you train your dog without saying a word? Can you train by body language and movement alone? Can you shape a behaviour without any kickstarting, luring or guidance at all?
