Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Pro Dog School classes are now closed until further notice. In the meantime, we are able to offer a range of online courses. Please see full details here.

What: We run dog obedience training classes for puppies and dogs of any age (if you have a puppy under 20 weeks, please click to see our puppy course here). Classes run for 45 minutes per week and are ongoing with payment taken every two months.  We have both daytime and evening options and indoor and outdoor classes. Every two months, the following obedience are covered (level depends on which grade you are on):

• Recall (from distractions)
• Sit, down and stand on command
• Heel
• Wait
• Stay
• Leave
• Drop
• Control around people (no jumping up, begging, mouthing)
• Handling (grooming, vet inspection by owner and stranger)

Where:

Monday evenings in Albourne Village Hall, BN6 9DJ

When: Our next courses are scheduled to start on:

• Monday 6th July at 7.15pm – 8.00pm in Albourne (eight weeks, no class 31/08)
• Monday 7th September at 7.15pm – 8.00pm in Albourne (eight weeks)
• Monday 2nd November at 7.15pm – 8.00pm in Albourne (eight weeks, no class 28/12)

How much: £10.00 per session, paid two months in advance.

Why: Teaching your dog obedience and tricks is a fun way to improve their overall obedience as well improving their strength and coordination which is important for body well being but also a great foundation for dog sports such as agility. A well trained dog is not only a pleasure to be around but is also safer for the public and for your dog themselves.

Further Info:

All basic training is covered, using kind, consistent, reward-based techniques (including clicker training). Classes are kept small and are taught by a qualified behaviourist with 12 years’ experience. You can check out pictures from this course here.
