At The Academy, we pride ourselves on creating fun, friendly and motivational training for dogs and owners. We want you to enjoy this course and learn as much as you can to build a happy and trusting relationship with your dog.



To do this we work using reward based, up to date and force-free, motivational methods. We do not advocate any force, pain, intimidation or coercion in any of our training methods. These out dated methods have been proven to be counter-productive and detrimental to the health and welfare of the dog. Creating a good positive bond with our dogs requires mutual trust and respect which we will be building on in this course.
