Focused training. Real-life results.
Sometimes you don’t need a long course — you just need focus.
Our 3-week training courses are short, structured blocks designed to help you and your dog work on one specific goal at a time. They’re ideal if you want targeted help, prefer shorter commitments, or would like to try something new in a supportive environment.
All courses are run in small groups, using reward-based, force-free training, with practical skills you can use straight away.
Try it first. Then decide what’s next.
Some of our 3-week courses are designed as a gentle introduction to a sport or activity. They give you and your dog the chance to build confidence, learn the basics, and decide where you’d like to go next — with no pressure to commit beyond the three weeks.
If you love it, we’ll guide you into the next best option. If not, that’s absolutely fine too.
⭐ Recall Stars
Build a recall you can rely on — even around distractions.
This course is ideal if your dog:
Comes back… eventually
Is great at home but struggles outside
Needs help staying engaged around other dogs or environments
You’ll work on engagement, motivation, and practical recall strategies you can use in real life.
⭐ Loose-Lead Stars
Calmer, more enjoyable walks.
Perfect if walks currently feel stressful or frustrating. This course focuses on practical lead skills, building focus, and creating relaxed walking habits that work in everyday situations.
⭐ Scentwork Starters
A calm, confidence-boosting introduction to scentwork.
Ideal for dogs who love to sniff, enjoy problem-solving, or need mental enrichment without high-impact exercise.
What happens next?
After completing Scentwork Starters, you’ll have the option to progress into our Scent Club, where skills are developed further through ongoing training.
⭐ Hoopers Starters
A fun, low-impact introduction to hoopers.
Suitable for dogs of all ages and sizes, this course introduces hoopers equipment, direction, and teamwork in a relaxed, supportive setting.
What happens next?
If you and your dog enjoy hoopers, we’ll help you progress into a regular Hoopers class (run in 6-week blocks) or explore membership options, depending on what suits you best.

Not sure which course is right for your dog? That’s completely normal.
Some dogs move straight from a 3-week course into regular classes.
Some repeat a short course later.
Some simply enjoy the experience and leave it there.
We’ll always help you choose the option that best suits you and your dog.
