Training Details

Our functional obedience training focuses on the everyday obedience required to for your dog. We proof our training in real life environments through robust exercises designed to test the handler and dog team. We believe that the handler and dog team require a small amount of obedience behaviours, however we also believe in a large amount of proofing of these behaviours. This ensures that the dog and handler team can perform in the most extreme working environments.
