Basic Obedience Training is an excellent way of gently putting a dog in its place. It is a constructive, progressive process which is good fun for both dog and owner.

Another real advantage of obedience training is that the dog is taught to behave in the presence of other dogs and other humans that the dog has never met before.

This practice is one of the best means of socialising a dog to its environment. It does wonders to improve the self-confidence of nervous dogs and the demeanour of aggressive dogs.

Companion Dog Training School offers a structured Basic Obedience Course conducted over a ten week period in one hourly sessions. Dogs must be at least 18 weeks of age and be fully immunised. The course is aimed to train your dog to be a trusting and alert companion that will respond to you in a happy and reliable manner.
