Adult Play Session Every Saturday 4-5pm @ The Dog Adventure Centre. Cost £5 per dog

Adult Play sessions concentrate on allowing dogs off lead play and exercise in a supervised and controlled environment. Only Non-Aggressive dogs come to social sessions so you can be sure your dog will enjoy interacting and meeting new canine friends. To find out if your dog is eligible to come along please contact the office.

Puppy Partys Every Saturday 3-4pm @ The Dog Adventure Centre. Cost £5 per dog

Every puppy likes to play and we often find that most puppy classes (apart from our own) do not allow dogs to play off lead missing out key important areas of socialisation. With that in mind we have a Puppy Party every Saturday to encourage young dogs to get along with each other and potentially avoid any anti social behaviour for the future. Every dog has been assessed before hand to ensure they are not aggressive so you can be sure that everyone will get along. To find out if your puppy is eligble to come along please contact the office.

This class is our standard obedience class for people who wish to get their dogs to a good standard of obedience. It is ideal for family groups, individuals and couples. Each class runs to a set syllabus of basic obedience aswell as covering aspects of nutrition, health, and problem behaviours. It is ideal for an owner who wishes their dog to have a good understanding of obedience and to learn key aspects of socialisation.
