Not sure which class is best for you?
Or maybe you want to work on something specific or prefer to train from the comfort of your own home!
We offer Open Session classes which allow casual attendance to either assess which structured course suits you best, work on a specific skill or just attend group classes with a less committed approach. Our Open Session classes run Thursday’s and Saturday’s on a fortnightly schedule. You can either attend as you would like on a casual basis or buy a package to book in for multiple dates. If you prefer a structured weekly class then we also have options for these in multiple levels from beginners to advanced!
Still not sure what you needs?
We also offer short private appointments to get started with some techniques, receive and assessment and personalised guidance to the best course of action to achieve your goals or our Online Training programs ABT-Plus
why choose open Session group dog training classes?
Our Open Session Dog Training Group class offers the flexibility and personalized support to suit your dog’s unique needs and your lifestyle. These classes are ideal for dog owners who may not be able to commit to weekly sessions due to busy schedules, travel, or personal circumstances. Whether you want to focus on a specific skill, assess your dog’s current training level, or learn at your own pace, Open Sessions are tailored to meet your goals with convenience and effectiveness.
For dogs that take longer to grasp new skills, these classes provide a relaxed, low-pressure environment where progress can be made steadily and without the stress of keeping up with others. They are also an excellent option for gradually introducing nervous or anxious dogs to new surroundings, people, and other dogs in a safe and supportive setting. With fewer demands compared to traditional group classes, your dog can build confidence, improve focus, and develop socialization skills at a comfortable pace.
Led by experienced, compassionate trainers, Open Sessions are designed to provide hands-on guidance, helping you address specific training needs or behavioral concerns in real-time. Whether you’re laying the foundation for better obedience, working through unique challenges, or just reinforcing positive habits, these classes offer the flexibility and expertise to support your training journey. Join an Open Session today and take a meaningful step toward a better-behaved, happier dog—and a stronger bond between you and your canine companion!
