How Does This Work?

You, your family and pet stay at any of our specially selected guest houses for the duration of your holiday. The 5 day course, which starts at around 10am each day in the beautiful Shropshire countryside, will include all the basic pet dog obedience exercises such as recall, lead work, 'not jumping up', sits and downs, mixed with 'a bit of fun' agility and some trick training. Your day's training will be finished at 3pm so you are free to enjoy the rolling hills and stunning scenery for the rest of the day. You may wish to visit the nearby ancient castles or historical towns of Shrewsbury or Ludlow. The lakeland areas of Ellesmere is a short drive away. Whether you have had some basic training (and he still pulls!) or you have never attended classes before, this is for you!
