Training classes for all ages, all stages

Location and cost

Leigh village hall, nr Tonbridge in Kent, TN11 8RL (between the shop and the Fleur de Lis pub). There is no car park at the hall, so please park on the road out the front if there's space, or down the side roads.

Please make sure your puppy/ dog has had chance for a wee and to stretch their legs before entering class. Whenever possible, puppies/ dogs need to do their initial greetings in the area outside the hall so they are ready to concentrate when they enter.

You will need to bring: a short lead (attached to a flat collar or fixed harness or headcollar), a bed/ cover for them to settle on during class, a non-squeaky chew/ tug toy if your puppy/ dog needs it, water in hot weather, and plenty of small food treats to last the session.

You will need to bring a completed registration with you to your first class.

Please contact Sarah to book your place.

All classes are roll-on roll-off, so there's no set number of weeks you need to attend, but once booked on you will be expected to attend every week you are able to, until you choose to stop coming (you need to let Sarah know when you want to stop).

Not suitable for reactive dogs unless you have already had one-to-one sessions with Sarah, and she thinks your dog can cope.
