Paws Etiquette follow-on classes currently provide FOUR Grades to progress through (more will be introduced later!). Each level will gradually raise the criteria and complexity. The Levels are relaxed, without assessment days, allowing learners to achieve Grades at their own speed.
By exploring various engaging training elements such as Agility, Hoopers, Scentwork, Gun dog exercises, Recall, and Loose Lead walking, we aim to enhance your handling skills and strengthen the bond with your dog. Additionally, we will progressively introduce Duration, Distance, and Distraction to further improve your dog's behavior and readiness for real-world situations.
The extent of your progress is solely determined by you, as there is no requirement to commit to a specific number of levels!
These classes cater to both individuals who participate purely for enjoyment and those with a competitive edge!
Certificates and badges will be awarded each time you successfully complete a level.
Classes will be held in rolling blocks of 6 weeks per block for those following the grades, grades can be achieved at the learners pace throughout the course.
Advanced classes are appropriate for dogs of any age, especially those who have completed a puppy/foundation course or have had relevant prior training.
