Training for dogs of any age, breed or ability – offered as courses (one-and-a-half hours a week over six successive weeks) or as individual private sessions (ideal for specific training needs or behavioural problems, or where attending a course is not possible). Also offer is our very popular HomeStart service and weekly Puppy Play'n'Learn sessions. All training is taught by the Clicker Training method – a proven fast and effective, positive-reward-based method of training – with instruction from award-winning teacher Vince Forehead, Clicker Teacher of the Year 2005 and 2006. Courses are currently run on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, with new 6-week Puppy and Beginner courses starting approximately every 4 weeks. Course times are 6.30 to 8.00 pm and 8.15 to 9.45 pm. Intermediate and Advanced Level Courses as well as specialist courses – such as Tricks-4-Fun – are offered for those wishing to develop training beyond the basics taught on Puppy and Beginner Courses. Canine Communications was awarded 'Favourite Dog Trainer & Behaviourist 2009' in thePet.net awards, presented in May at the NEC, Birmingham by TV Vet, Marc Abraham.
