Rookie Course (Basic Training)

The Rookie Course is for dogs from six months of age onwards with little or no training experience.  Rescue dogs can also benefit from these classes as it brings structure and consistency into their lives.  It is a seven week programme and the first week is induction week, where we cover vital information for beginning your training and is WITHOUT your dog.

At the conclusion of which, students are invited to join the Deputy Dog Classes to further develop their training skills.  Please note that the Rookie Course is not designed to deal with dogs with reactivity and behavioural issues.  If in doubt please contact us to discuss your individual needs.

At Best Behaviour K9, we aim to offer the very best service to our clients by accepting a maximum of 8 dogs in our Rookie Dog classes.  This ensures that they have every opportunity to socialise with other dogs, whilst keeping the class small enough to allow owners to spend as much time as possible training their dogs without them having to sit and wait their turn.

Rookie Course has been designed to help you train your dog using humane, balanced training methods.  This class aims to provide you with a basic knowledge of understanding and training your canine companion whilst having fun and developing the bond between you both.
