Private Dog Behaviour Training with My Complex Canine
My Complex Canine’s 1:1 dog training sessions offer personalised support tailored to you and your dog’s individual needs. These sessions provide focused guidance on essential skills such as recall, loose lead walking, settling calmly, and building confidence in new situations.
Working at your dog’s pace in a familiar environment helps create a relaxed learning experience. Using kind, reward-based training methods, you’ll gain the knowledge and practical tools to build strong foundations and set your dog up for a happy, well-behaved life with your family.
Group Dog Training Classes
The Youth Club course is for young dogs (5 months to 18 months). It is designed to build your dog’s ability to focus on you when out and about, move away from exciting things, and remain calmer around distractions. The training methods are fun game-based methods that engage natural instincts and behaviours. Covering, leave and drop, wait, distance positions, recall and loose lead exercises and calm boundary training.
The Happy Handling consent-based dog behaviour group class is for dogs of any age (over 20 weeks). It is designed to offer a structured, yet fun and educational course, to improve your dog's confidence and trust in all aspects of handling whilst giving them choice and control. We teach dogs to offer consent for all aspects of handling, from grooming to injections, making life happier and vet visits less stressful for all. This course is beneficial to every single dog and owner and will give you a greater understanding of your dog.
