Group Training Classes in Aylsham

We run structured, small-group classes with clear progression stages, alongside workshops to develop specific skills such as recall, engagement, and control around distractions.

Structured progression with a pet gundog focus

From foundations to pet gundog training

Our classes are built around progression. We start with puppy and beginner training, focusing on core skills such as engagement, lead walking, and recall. From there, training becomes increasingly focused on pet gundog skills, helping dogs learn how to work with their owner around distractions, scent, and movement.

As dogs progress, we develop steadiness, impulse control, and reliability in more challenging environments. Workshops are also available to focus on specific areas such as recall, lead walking, and gundog foundations.

These group dog training classes in Aylsham and Norfolk are designed for real-world reliability, not just controlled environments.

What Our Clients Say

Our initial assessment is designed to give us a full picture of both the dog and the owner, not just the behaviour that’s presenting as a problem.

We begin with a detailed discussion about the dog’s history — including breed, age, routine, exercise, diet, previous training, and any specific challenges the owner is experiencing. We then observe the dog in a practical setting. By the end of the assessment, we explain what we’re seeing, outline the likely root causes of any challenges, and provide a clear, structured plan for moving forward.
