What are Classes?

Our teaching is combined with play and the building of an emotional bond between dog and owner. With emphasis on control, (walking nicely on lead, recalling to owner and not jumping up), plus good manners, Classes are centred around the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme and we also incorporate low-level agility and rally. As the name suggests, Reality Dog Training was set up to allow owners to gain and maintain control of their dogs where it matters the most...outside, in real-life situations with all the distractions typically presented.

How are Classes Structured?

Our Initial Course consists of 12 hours of training. Following the 2 compulsory Inductions of 2 hours via Zoom, your 8 hourly Classes can be attended ad-hoc although joining us at every class is encouraged for greatest possible success. At the end of the initial pre-paid period, each Follow-On Course consists of 8 hourly Classes paid in advance as a block or pay-as-you-go on the day. 

Are Vaccinations needed for Classes?

Our Inductions are via Zoom thus suitable even for dogs who are not yet vaccinated. Indoor Classes can be attended from one week after first vaccination. Outdoor Classes can only be participated within from one week after second vaccination although after their first vaccine dogs are welcome in arms, free of charge, so handlers can benefit from behavioural training tips to practice at home while bridging the vaccination gap. It is highly recommended but not essential that dogs are vaccinated against Kennel Cough.
Why do Classes have Inductions?

These 2 Zoom sessions help set you up for success by providing an understanding of the psychology of how dogs learn, the importance of correct socialisation, appropriate play, emotional bonding, calming signals, body language and developmental stages including experimental behaviours such as mouthing, stealing and chasing.
Settling, attention to name, recall, loose lead walking and handling are also covered to reveal foundations of behaviour so your companion can join you at any time, in any place.

Where are Classes?

Following your 2-Part Zoom Inductions, daytime Classes will be in Marble Hill Park TW1 2NL. We are located on the rugby pitch. Entering via the Orleans Road Gate midway along Orleans Road or the Riverside Gate opposite Orleans Garden is best. Please allow for a 5 minutes walk from either of these gates. Evening Classes will be at The ETNA Centre, 13 Rosslyn Road TW1 2AR.

For Marble Hill Park, car parking is free at weekends on Orleans Road beyond the gated entrance to the park as well as Richmond Road. The car park accessed via the main entrance is fee-paying. Please allow 15 mins to walk from the main car park to the Orleans Road side of the park.
The ETNA Centre has a free car park at the rear of the premises.
