Dog training classes in Lincolnshire

Chestnut Lodge Dog Training offers small, relaxed, class training sessions for various activities including Basic Pet Obedience, Training for the Kennel Club Good Citizen Tests, (at least two tests are held each year but there is no pressure to take these tests), Puppy training and socialisation and Training for Gun Dogs for Work or Fun.  My Border Collies  have been trained and taken part in Competitive Obedience, Agility and Sheepdog Trials.    My Golden Retrievers have also taken part in Competitive Obedience and Agility as well as being trained to work in the field and given a number of demonstrations at County Shows and large Canine Events.  I have studied Animal Behaviour at Southampton University and offer consultations to anyone who has a pet that is causing concern regarding their behaviour.  Bespoke training is available with  continuing support as needed.  Understanding dogs and helping other dog owners to understand theirs has been my commitment for the past 20 years.  Even so, there is always more to learn.  I welcome enquiries by email or telephone.
