Courses at the BGSD Dog Training School.
RESIDENTIAL TRAINING
These are dog only courses, which will suit
owners who do not have the time to train with their dogs, or for owners
who are less able, or even while you are away on holiday.
These courses will allow your dog
to achieve the results as listed in the prospectus for each training
course. The time scale allowed may vary with each individual dog, this
is given as a guide only.
For the intermediate and advanced courses, it
is a requirement that your dogs training is at an acceptable level
before training in these areas can commence, and we will advise
accordingly.

operate a Non Violent approach to all matters involved
in dog training.
Our training is designed for the dog and
handler teams to enjoy themselves, so whatever your needs we believe we
offer something for all dogs and owners regardless of age or ability.
