Our Aims and The Aims of our ClassesOur Overall Aim: To Provide 'Training for Life'
Kay and I set up 'Be Good' Dog Training in order to help local dog owners enjoy their dogs more. For that reason, the classes that we offer are tailor-made around those dogs that attend them and activities that are carried out in any single class are geared towards the dogs present and do not follow a specific course or syllabus. This flexibility allows us to help you to get the best out of your dog without being curtailed to a specific timescale. Every breed and individual dog and owner are different and will learn and progress in different ways and at different paces. All classes consist of socialisation, obedience training and focus with distractions, and agility. We believe that agility is a really important tool to be able to get the best out of your dog; allowing them to use their brains to learn new things and burn of lots of energy in the meanwhile!

Although we ask that those enrolling in puppy class sign up for a minimum of 5 sessions, it would be beneficial for your pups training to be ongoing as they emerge out of the 'critical period' for socialisation towards adolescence and those problems that go hand in hand with these developmental stages.
Problems generally begin with crying at night, house-training and puppy mouthing and then later, jumping up, stealing items, not coming when called and pulling on the lead. Although a solid foundation in basic obedience will help you bond with your canine companion, most puppies tend to go through a rebellious stage at around 16 weeks...
You are very welcome to attend for 5 weeks, go away for a month or so and then, assuming there are spaces, return to class. The other reason we ask for a 5 week block is because this class is capped at 8 puppies (though we prefer 6!) and this allows us to concentrate on the puppies in class and help with any specific problems.
