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 sporting activities. 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.
Initial Training consists of 11 hours. Following Induction of 3 hours, your 8 hourly Classes can be attended ad-hoc although joining us at every available class is encouraged for greatest possible success. With exception of extreme weather conditions and rugby stadium days, we train during school term times. At the end of the initial pre-paid period, each Follow-On Block consists of 8 hourly Classes paid in advance as a block on a sliding scale or pay-as-you-go on the day.
Following Induction, Classes will be in Marble Hill Park TW1 2NL between Easter and Christmas. We are located between Orleans Gate and the children's play area, near the Coach House Cafe; what3words : hill.harder.spare If entering via Ferry Gate, River Gate or from the main car park off Richmond Road, please allow for a 5-10 mins walk.
Between New Year and Easter we try to train indoors.
