Dog Training

This is a 1hr, face to face dog training session with one of our trainers and is completely tailored to your needs. These sessions are ideal for helping with issues such as recall, heel work, lead training and basic obedience.

We do have a diverse team of fully trained ‘Demo Dogs’ that we are able to incorporate into sessions for demonstrations or those all important distractions.

The cost of this session is £60/1hr.

If you have multiple issues then you will need to book multiple sessions and there is a discount for doing so.

If you have multiple issues, then we advise booking 3 sessions, 2 weeks apart and we can plan your training regime and give feedback on your progress in subsequent sessions.

These sessions are held at our training facility on Moor Lane, Wilmslow. We do recommend just one handler as we do believe that this works better and we want you to get the most out of the session. We do allow observers at a distance that doesn’t distract the session.

To book a session or multiple sessions then please contact us via email at admin@damianriley.com

This is a 6 week course and is for young dogs from the age of 5 months upwards (but is more focused on the stage that you dog is at (Beginner) rather than how old your dog is. You are considered a Beginner until you have good general obedience under high levels of distraction.

• The importance of Play

• ‘Sit’ and ‘Down Stay’ – Place board training

We will also be training you to be able to;

We will also teach you how to introduce these behaviours whilst in real life environments and scenarios.

If you haven’t been to our training school before, but think that you and your dog are at a standard of obedience that would qualify for our intermediate course, please get in touch and you will be asked to book a 1hr 1-1 session to be assessed for suitability for the course.
