Dog and Puppy Training Classes Building a stronger bond with our dogs is high on the list with most dog owners, just like schooling for children, pet dog training is an integral part of a dog's socialization and development process. Dogs, who have not had the right education, can develop unhealthy and sometimes dangerous behaviours. Knowing what's safe to do and what's not is stress relieving in its self. . Our Director of training is Stephen G. King who is a specialist dog-trainer, consultant to Redbridge Borough Council dog section and a qualified Agility instructor and has a Diploma in animal psychology. His practice specialises in puppy training and dog behavioural problems and he works on the referral of Veterinary Surgeons as a behaviourist. He is also a founder member of the APDT, whose code of practice allows only Kind, Fair and Force-free methods of training. Stephen is a leading light in the use of operant conditiong (clicker training) and has had students from all over the UK , including Holland , Belgium and Finland for his Clicker Workshops. Most of the dog societies such as the National Canine Defence League, Battersea Dogs home, Dogs for the Disabled, Guide dogs for the blind to name a few are now using these concepts in their training programs. All classes are small in number to ensure that we can offer the best in individual attention. Our aim is for you to have a successful and rewarding relationship with your dog, and believe that classes should be interesting, rewarding and enjoyable as well as kind, fair and effective! All courses are five weeks' in duration and last for one hour per week.

Don't leave it too late! Puppies learn amazingly fast and these classes are intended to allow them to build confidence and social skills with adults, children and other puppies in a controlled environment as well as learning their ABC's of training. Beginners Training Classes (For older puppies, which have missed out on puppy class and dogs, which need basic training) This beginners course is intended to help you understand how your dog learns and to give you both an opportunity to enjoy some training with our help. Graduate Training Classes The classes are exclusively for dogs, which have already taken a puppy or beginner course at Crosskeys Further skills, tricks and individual training goals are the focus for this course. If you want your dog to join the ClickAgility class or go into Film work- this is the course for you! Individual Behaviour Consultations One-to-one training is offered for owners who want that extra personal service. These sessions varying in duration and price, according to your needs. Call the office for more details. Aggression Control Classes Stephen’s favourite group! This group consists of dogs in the early stages of their rehabilitation. Each dog has been through one to one training where they have learned to accept the presence of a strange dog/person. Under strict supervision four to six dogs learn canine and human social skills. Each dog and handler is finally faced with their individual worst scenario and taught how to cope with it. We use our 1˝-acre field for these rehabilitation pupils so that they get only as close to each other as they can cope with. Most of them will eventually progress to being able to join in with “normal” training groups.
