Workshops
Practical dog training workshops for dogs 6 months and older. Monthly one-hour sessions covering challenges dog owners face everyday.
You can join individual workshops or sign up for the full series.
What is a workshop?
Our monthly dog training workshops are hands-on, small-group sessions held at Fareham House in Featherston for dogs aged 6 months and older. Each session runs for 60 to 90 minutes, with dogs working on-leash alongside up to two human handlers. Designed to be completely flexible, you can choose to join only the individual workshops that suit your dog’s current needs, or you can sign up for the full series to take advantage of the bundle discounts.
Who are the workshops for?
These workshops are designed to tackle the real, everyday challenges dog owners face by focusing on one specific topic at a time. They serve to build confidence, clear communication, and practical skills for both you and your dog. Instead of a rigid, one-size-fits-all curriculum, these sessions give you the hands-on tools to better understand your dog’s behavior and positively change how they respond to different real-world situations at home.
What to expect:
Hands-on group training in a safe, controlled environment.
Friendly, small-group sessions with a maximum of 10 dogs per class.
Science-backed training methods using 100% positive, force-free methods.
Direct trainer messaging between classes to ask questions and troubleshoot.
A community group chat to share notes and progress with other attendees.
Realistic homework designed to take just 5–10 minutes a day.
Discounted 1-1 training sessions if you’re after extra in-home help.

Need more information?
Our workshops are structured in a specific order to set your dog up for success, but you have the flexibility to pick and choose exactly which ones work for you. Not sure what is right for you? Let us know, we can help you decide with a free no-obligation meet & greet.
The entire series spans 10 months, with a built-in 2-month break in between. We intentionally pace them this way to keep things flexible and, most importantly, to give you plenty of time between workshops to implement, practice, and improve your dog's approach to different situations.
True behaviour change doesn't happen overnight; this structure ensures you have the time and support to actually build real-world habits before moving to the next step.
