Barker Behaviour and Training currently offers 2 levels of adult dog training for dogs aged over 12 months. These classes teach real life skills in a fun and positive manner, increasing both you and your dog's confidence and bond together, while supporting the pet parent to help their dog to be the best it can be and a great family dog. These courses are particularly good for families that have recently adopted an adult dog and need to build that trust relationship. Also great for adult dogs that may not have continued with their training after puppyhood and now need to achieve basic training or do a refresher on their dogs manners. All dogs can learn, even older dogs, it just takes consistency and clear communication.

If your dog reacts negatively to people or other puppies/dogs please contact us before booking to see if these classes are suitable for your dog or whether private lessons would be more suitable.
