What are Life Skills?

  • Expert advice
  • Real life training
  • Work towards a dog who makes good decisions

Any dog, Any Age

We recommend this Life Skills course before completing any of our Bronze, Silver and Gold training courses. It teaches the foundations of effective training and core skills you and your dog need.

Real Life Skills

These are the real skills you wish your dog had; recall, lead walking, self control, drop, leave and settling down spread over six weeks of training. Why make life hard? Give your dog Life Skills.

Like a dog training class - but better!

Expert instruction

Dr Katie Friel-Russell is a Veterinary Behaviourist and Dog Trainer and brings her behaviour and training expertise from running thousands of classes to offer the best class around.

Never miss a class

Fed up of missing classes due to holidays or illness? Take your classes whenever you want, spend more time focussing on what's important for your dog and go back whenever you like with life time access.

See the next steps

Every exercise includes explanations and demonstrations of all the stages of progression. Allowing you and your dog to move at your own pace and advance as quickly and effectively as possible.

Why should I teach Life Skills?

Make your life easier

We focus on dog's making good choices reducing your work in the long term. If your dog's goals are the same as yours you can live harmoniously together.

Support your dog

Training that makes sense to your dog. We break down every exercise to make it easy for you to follow and even easier for your dog to learn - maximising training at every step.

Science based

All of our work is science based and force-free. We don't hurt or scare dogs in any of our training and can teach you how to be an effective teacher for your dog.

Have fun

Genuinely! You got a dog to have enjoy life with them - so why not start now? Our training encourages you to play with your dog, did you know we all learn faster during play? Let's use it to our advantage!
