Adolescent Dog Life Skills Training Epsom & Ewell

If you have just taken on a rescue dog or your adolescent dog is no longer listening to you, then this is the course for you.

This course will cover all the basic commands you need to have a well-trained dog, plus how to deal with any problems you may be having such as jumping up and barking. We will help you to understand how dogs learn and why they do the things they do plus the importance of mental stimulation. One of the classes will take place in Nonsuch Park, so there is a chance to practice training in a real-life situation.

What is taught:

• Getting your dog's attention amongst distractions - keeping your dog's focus on you
• Teaching your dog to relax and be calm around other dogs and people
• Recalls - building up the level of distraction
• Walking on a loose lead
• Self-control around food, dogs and people
• How to settle and be calm
• Mentally stimulating ways in which you can occupy your dog at home 

These classes are held on Saturdays at Nonsuch Scout Hall, Ewell.   For the full address, please go to our Class Locations page.
