Obedience Training
Service Description
Our one-on-one obedience training is tailored to the individual needs of you and your dog, providing personalised guidance in a focused, distraction-controlled environment. Suitable for dogs 6 months of age and older, these sessions are designed to build a strong foundation in everyday obedience, improve communication between dog and handler, and develop confidence in a variety of real-world situations. Training can include: * Basic obedience skills. * Socialisation and confidence building through appropriate exposure to people, dogs, environments, and everyday stimuli. * Desensitisation exercises to help dogs become more comfortable and responsive in challenging situations. * Strengthening the relationship between handler and dog through clear, fair, and consistent training techniques. For handlers interested in dog sports, sessions can also be tailored to prepare you and your dog for the BH-VT obedience and traffic test or to develop the obedience foundation required for IGP. Training is individually structured to suit your goals, whether you're working towards trial readiness or simply building the precision and engagement expected in sport obedience. Every training plan is customised to your dog's temperament, experience, and learning pace, ensuring steady progress while promoting a confident, reliable, and well-mannered companion.

The remaining balance must be **paid in full before the commencement of your training session**. If you need to cancel or reschedule, we require **a minimum of 24 hours' notice**. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice will result in your **deposit being non-refundable**. ## Session Requirements Please arrive on time with your dog on a secure **lead and collar**, and bring **poo bags** for clean-up. Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their dogs throughout the session. Clients must disclose any history of aggression, bite incidents, medical conditions, or significant behavioural concerns before the first training session so we can provide the safest and most appropriate training. ## Owner Responsibility Dogs remain the responsibility of their owner or handler at all times.

By attending, you accept responsibility for your dog's behaviour and for any injury, loss, or damage caused by your dog during or in connection with training. ## Code of Conduct We are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and positive environment for everyone. Abusive, aggressive, threatening, or inappropriate behaviour towards **dogs, clients, or staff** will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Anyone displaying such behaviour will be asked to leave the session immediately and, at our sole discretion, may be refused or permanently banned from attending any future training sessions or using our services.
