Outdoor dog training classes are held at the Three Legged Cross veterinary Surgery, Verwood Road, Three Legged Cross, Dorset. BH21 6RR.

Please bring poo bags, water, toys, training treats and long lines. For your convenience we do sell The Company Of Animals 5 m long lines for £7.00 which is less than the RRP. We also sell large Halti Training leads at £7.00 and £5.50 for small (also less than RRP).

 

If the weather is FOUL please call Denise on 07764 250554 to check if the class is still on. We will work in rain but if the weather is very poor it may be necessary to cancel.

Due to parking limitations we are no longer offering the free format classes as it has been difficult for people to park and leave. We are now offering a range of short courses of three weeks each run on Saturday afternoons.

We will be running the following classes in three weeks courses:

Socilalisation Classes 15.30-16.15

Socialisation classes for dogs which require additional support in socialising with other dogs. This is not the Grumpy Growler course and is not for dogs which are regularly aggressive towards other dogs, it is for dogs which might bark at other dogs or which do not know how to behave with other dogs. These classes are charged at £30.00 for three weeks. Up to 8 dogs. See services prices and dates for more info.

Recall Classes 15.30-16.15

A three week course in real life conditions using long lines. Useful techniques are taught outdoors to help you to teach your dog to come when called. These courses are charged at £21.00 for people currently attending Paws In Hand indoor classes and £28.00 for all others. It is a three week course and is suitable for well socialised dogs. Up to 8 dogs. See services prices and dates for more info.

Fun and Games 15.30-16.15

A three week course training on the use of some agility items (tunnel, jumps and weaves) combined with obedience activities. Great fun but also very effective for dogs having trouble with controlling their impulses. These courses are charged at £21.00 for people currently attending Paws In Hand classes and £28.00 for all others. It is also a good course for those dogs or owners which find regular agility too exciting!!! Up to 8 dogs.

UK Rally 15.30-16.15

Be the first! A three week taster course in the latest hot new dog sport which involves obedience and jumps. Suitable for those who just want to try something different for their dog who have done everything else! Three weeks charged at £21.00 for people currently attending Paws In Hand classes, or £28.00 for all others. Useful for honing obedience skills in the big outdoors. Up to 8 dogs.

Meeting and Greeting 15.30-16.15

This course is for dogs which jump up at people and other dogs when greeting. It is suitable for friendly dogs which have not learned manners yet. Please do not wear your Sunday best for this one as you may find you get paw prints whilst the dogs are learning! Course changed at £21.00 for three weeks for people attending Paws In Hand Classes and £28.00 for people not attending classes. 

Puppy Club

This is a one off session which is run frequently designed to further your puppy's socialisation skills by meeting other puppies from other courses. We can expose them gently to livestock in adjoining fields and develop on outdoor heel walking and recall. £7.00 per session for puppies inder 30 weeks old.

We can also use this field to help with dogs who chase bicycles, joggers etc as we can bring these items to this site without the risk of other joggers/cyclists getting knocked over.
