Surrey and South London Dog Training and Behaviour

5th January Update

Following Boris' announcement last night, all in-person training must now be suspended until lockdown measures are lifted. Clients with existing bookings will all be contacted. Online training classes and 121s are available to book as usual.

In-person classes do not typically involve any dogs playing with other dogs as this would encourage people to get too close to one another, breaking government guidelines. Online classes are both cheaper and more efficient, particularly when teaching new puppies and we find the puppies who learn online generally progress much quicker than those attending in-person classes. Socialisation involves gentle exposure to a range of environments and stimuli and puppy classes alone are simply not enough to produce well-socialised dogs. Take what you learn in your online class, practise at home and then generalise the skills in the real world once the behaviours are familiar.

For one to one training, under normal circumstances our trainers would come into your house, learn about your dog, the training requirements and start the training needed indoors, away from distractions. Our online sessions are cheaper than in-person (no travel time for us) and just as effective.

Stay safe and keep on training!
