When we started our training with Frida we were apprehensive and worried that we would never have a confident and less reactive dog. Mike, Lyn and Ann have been wonderful, they have not only provided Frida with the training she needed but also improved our own confidence with the knowledge to continue this training. Thank you to all, it has been invaluable and fun.

We booked our Golden Retriever rescue Maggie in for her first training session to help with her recall and possessiveness of toys.

Mike, Lyn and Sarah were fantastic in making the session fun and enjoyable not only for Maggie but us too, she had a lovely time!

We came away feeling really relaxed and looking forward to more visits to Wagtail Walks and Training.


Maggie is now signed up for Hoopers group sessions!


Thank you!

Lyn and Mike have been fantastic in helping our extremely nervous rescue dog gain confidence and begin to interact with the outside world in an enjoyable way. We have learnt so much and now look forward to our walks.

Puppies first training, Book


Pre-vaccination puppy home visits


One to one puppy training  is held in your garden or home environment.

Getting a new pup can feel like having a new baby in the household, its a big responsibility and we want to make sure we get it right from the beginning.

 This home visit is designed for puppies who have not been fully vaccinated and are not ready to go out on walks.

We cover all the basics to get you off to the very best of starts. House training, puppy biting, sleep routine, jumping up, play, preparing for lead walking and recall.

We are there to answer any questions or worries you have on training behaviour, feeding and health.

This comes with supporting e books and email and telephone support as required.


Price; 1 Hour session £50

Days and times agreed individually.

Puppies First Training Group, Book

Puppies First Training Group -Puppies are go!

 

Puppies first group classes, it is like going off to puppy school for the first time! 

This group is design for pups from 12 weeks old.

 

It is your puppy's time to meet new people and other dogs.

Building on their learning so far to the next stages of lead walking, recall etc while there are distractions.

 

We are aware this can be overwhelming, so we ensure this is done in a gentle way ensuring all individuals are feeling comfortable with the situation.

 

Our groups are normally a maximum of 6 dogs, with 3 fully qualified trainers, our assistants are fully insured, and first aid trained.

We ensure that everyone is given the time and support they need.

 

Wagtail training groups are held in our purpose-built dog training facility, in our fully enclosed fenced field, with a large undercover area, to give shade or shelter from the weather. We have real grass alongside a big astro turfed area, for those times it gets muddy we can avoid that mud.

There is seating for family members who wish to come along as well.

We also have some areas that are more private for those pups that find it a little hard to start with.

 

The reason we love our training facility, Ipswich Dog Training Academy, is because it is like the real world of walks, yet it is a safe space for pups.

We are sure you will love it too!
