adult general obedience class

You can teach an old dog new tricks!

​

Our Adult General Obedience Class is a fantastic opportunity if you are looking to IMPROVE and learn new skills in a vast array of areas.

Designed to give you better control of your dog at home, on walks, and around other dogs; our classes are a relaxed and informative way to bond with your dog while learning at the same time. Using only positive-reinforcement methods we get the best out of your dog in a fun & positive way.

The course runs for 6-weeks with the first session classroom based. After all, it is not just the dogs we teach! Each session is 1 hour long and held on a Sunday. Covering over 25 subjects orally and practically,  you will be at times tested but helped every step of the way by our trainer not only in class, but also outside of class with a WhatsApp group to help with daily assistance.

All dogs receive a rosette and certificate on completion and that sense of achievement between both you and dog, is absolutely free. NO other course around offers all of this!

Classes are held at the excellent venue, the Tralee Equestrian Centre which is an ideal location for training. You may also bring one friend/family member to accompany you.
