Group Training

Group Training Classes

As a qualified Dog Trainer, More Than Pets have seen many dogs with common behaviour problems. We commonly see dogs not walking loosely on a lead, not coming when called, excessive excitability around other dogs/humans, bad house manners and so, so much more. As a result, More Than Pets have designed a group training program to meet these common behaviour problems. The course goes for 8 weeks and has a class size ranging from 5-10 dogs. We encourage the whole family to come along and participate in your dogs training.

Course Content

In the first 4 weeks we cover the basics like sit, drop, stay, recall, loose lead walking and food refusal. In the last 4 weeks we focus a lot more on dog-on-dog interaction where we rehearse correct social greetings, ‘meet and greets’, and the dogs learn to walk calmly beside you no matter if there are other dogs walking towards them, in front of them, behind them or beside them. We also cover impulse control and basic body language.

The core element in More Than Pets’ training program is for dogs to learn from their mistakes and triumphs in a controlled and supervised environment.

Who is it for?

Our course is open for dogs of all ages, once fully vaccinated, and is ideal to teach young dogs correct interactions and behaviour from the outset as well as addressing common behaviour issues seen in older dogs. All dog breeds and crosses are welcome.
