Our Training Philosophy
Our Training Philosophy
We use reward-based, welfare-focused training methods, that are well evidenced and based on current science. We set our dogs up for success and reward them when they get it right. We encourage members to share any concerns they may have and never force them to do anything that they or their dog are not comfortable with.
Aversive training methods, physical or psychological, can damage trust between dog and handlers and are not allowed in the Club.
Our 7 training instructors and 3 assistants have a wealth of experience and have been training our members' dogs for over 15 years. When a member requires specialist support our training instructors will signpost them to an accredited professional.

Very proud Club members with their training instructors and their Silver Awards
Established in 1992, The Royal Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Training Scheme is the largest dog training programme in the UK. The scheme is open to all dogs, young or old, pedigree or crossbreed. Dogs do not need to be registered with The Royal Kennel Club to take part. The scheme promotes responsible dog ownership by teaching owners to train their dog for everyday life situations. There are four award levels: Puppy Foundation, Bronze, Silver and Gold.
You can find out more about the scheme and about being a responsible dog owner in The Royal Kennel Club's Canine Code booklet under our resources page.
Training at our Club covers all elements required to pass The Royal Kennel Club assessments. We encourage our members to take the assessments. Even though our Puppy and Foundation classes cover a lot of the required elements, it is usually members in Intermediate and Intermediate Plus that enter the assessments.
