Non residential - based in Yorkshire

At Dogs for Life we look at how dogs learn, why they do what they do, why different breeds have different needs and your lifestyle.

Philippa or Dawn will look at improving your observation, your timing of when to reward etc and communication skills between you and your dog.

In effect we teach you to teach, what you want to teach is up to you.

As demonstrated at Crufts for the past 11 years, we use kind, fair and above all effective methods.

Essential Training for everyday life lets you gain control within your home environment and out on walks.

Puppy Training which helps prevent problems arising, promoting correct interaction and building strong relations with puppy and their owners.

Private Lessons to help you work on your specific requirements. (Many clients who have to travel will book a private 2 hour lesson on the afternoon of the day they travel to York and stay over at Janet's (Dog Friendly B&B at Harton) and have a further lesson the following morning – before setting off home – or staying even longer in York to see the local sites) and if required more lesson time with Philippa. You will go away with some exercises and homework to help you move forward.
