At Nosey Barker we understand that not all families want to compete at Crufts in showing, agility or obedience, but we also know that families do want a well-mannered dog that they can enjoy spending time with.

For over 10 years Kim has worked with dogs and in this time she has learnt that building a strong bond between a family and a dog is key to a successful relationship. It is this knowledge, experience and training that forms a golden thread throughout the school and has become the Nosey way.

Puppy Classes

Once your pup has had their 2nd injection they may be 10-16 weeks old which will be very close to the end of a development window (14/16 weeks). During this development window the experiences your pup has can really impact the way they react to the world around them. Joining classes as early as possible really will help set your pup up for life! We take a holistic approach to training and will discuss areas such as food, neutering, grooming and enrichment.

Our classes cover:

Building a positive relationship

Learning your pups body language

Managing behaviour

Basic cues such as sit, down and stand

Walking calmly on a lead

Reliable recall

Following instructions

Wait/stay

Good manners such as not jumping up or mugging for food

Fun behaviours like tricks and scent work
