Dog Training Classes

***** Please note that due to covid the indoor classes in Nantwich are not currently available *****

Group training classes, are a great way to give a structured approach to your Dog Training, they facilitate the opportunity to further develop your training, give you goals, allow you to socialise your dog with other dogs and people, provide a safe and secure area to train with greater level of distractions, allow you to meet and share experience with like minded people,

We are Kennel Club Listed and offer the Kennel Club Good Citizens awards

Methods

A great training and happier life partnership between you and your dog comes from the relationship you have with them, so at Positively Playful we believe that the relationship is the key and starting point to build on your training success.

We all enjoy and learn better when we are having fun, and dogs are no exception to this. We only use positive training techniques. Our classes are designed to be fun and engaging for you and your dog, providing a greater richer training base, and training/shaping your dogs behavior through the use of fun and engaging games, enabling them so they are making the right choices rather than you having to tell them. "Concept training"

The Venue
