We are very lucky in having a great venue for our five-week classes, which take place at the Pony Centre on Wormwood Scrubs. The Pony Centre is a registered charity for young people and people with special needs. Every week over 100 children and young people have riding lessons.

Our classes take place on Monday evenings at 7pm and the full cost for the course is £100. All dogs attending must be fully inoculated. We have a maximum of ten dogs per five-week course and there is always a minimum of 2 trainers at each session. Our classes aim to teach you and your dog basic commands and good behaviour. The emphasis of our course is to have fun whilst training your dog and the atmosphere is friendly, encouraging and positive.

The Monday course begins at 7pm and is for puppies that are aged from 12 weeks to 6 months.  The puppies learn to sit, stay, lie down, have road manners, walk to heel etc.  They also have the opportunity to socialise with the other puppies.

If you have a dog that is over the age of 6 months then we recommend that you have a one to one session.

Some comments from dog owners who have attended our courses...

'After the first week, it became clear that really, we as dog owners were being trained or rather we were being given the tools to train our own dogs.  Having completed the course, I now have a loving, calm dog who is a joy to take out and a joy within our home.'

'The first week we were a little uneasy, but once we had met the trainers they were so friendly they made you feel at ease straight away.'            Susie & Mark with Tyson the Rottweiler

The weekly sessions were fun.  Bisto really enjoyed it and on arrival at the Scrubs Car Park was eager to get to the class.'                    Gerry & Barry with Bisto the Norfolk Terrier

'Although struggling with her stubborn nature, the effect of the training was pretty immediate, as long as I put in the extra homework which I realised fairly quickly was essential.'                              Alex with Betty the Tibetan Terrier

'We really enjoyed the sessions, as a different aspect of training was covered each week.  We felt the advice given was sensible and achievable.  We also benefited from discussing and comparing problems with the other dog owners'.

                  John & Pat with Juno the Staffordshire Bull Terrier

'I enrolled George on the puppy class and the sessions were interactive and fun, with the trainers always at hand to lend support with any issues.  Very comprehensive notes were distributed which had easy to follow exercises related to the classes each week.'
