Pets Great and Small - Good Dog - Level 1

What will my dog learn?

Tell me more...

Welcome to GOOD DOG - LEVEL 1 where your dog can learn all the skills necessary to thrive with their human families. Whilst dogs have been bred to live with us for many, many years we can’t discount the fact they were once wild scavengers and still enjoy hobbies like bin raiding, people drag racing and legging it after squirrels!

Dogs don’t come knowing the key skills needed to be a Good Boy or Girl and just like young children, they need teachers to show them the way.

In GOOD DOG - LEVEL 1 we start to teach your dog how to be the goodest boy or girl your family could wish for including:

Sitting and staying when asked
Settling and chilling when asked
Coming back even when there are squirrels
Walking with the person on the end of the lead, and not pulling them like the huskies they saw on the Christmas advert on the Telly Box
Being the best and fastest dog at fetch in the dog park
Leaving stuff when their person says, even when it's the tastiest snack in the hands of a human puppy
Listening to your every word
Doing simple tricks to prove to your neighbours and friends they really are the goodest boy or girl in town

Of course, this will require a little effort from you too. Like any parent, showing your dog the way is the key to your dog graduating from the Good Dog level 1 class. In this class we have squished lessons into short 5 minute daily sessions Monday - Friday. Commit to just 5 minutes a day and marvel at the results.

Who are we...

Pets Great and Small was set up in January 2016. We provide online and face to face training for pet dog owners. We specialise in Pet dogs as opposed to working or competition dogs and our philosophy is to build great relationships for life. We love working with dogs of any age but we do insist on them being fully vaccinated and have a microchip.

We believe all dogs can be trained without the need for fear or pain and use reward based training techniques that are based on markers, toys and/or food. Our methods are kept up to date through continual professional development with the School of Canine Science and we also study behaviour with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers.

To ensure we can cover a wide range of subjects and our Clients receive effective, non-biased training, we also often invite Guest trainers to facilitate sessions on our behalf.

We train in the Berkshire area and our online presence means we can offer services nationwide.

Hours of Opening – Monday to Saturday 10am – 8pm
