Kind handling, reward based dog training

Heelwork-To-Music/Canine Freestyle (Dancing with dogs!) Levels Beginner 2-3, Advanced 4-6

NOTE - Although this class is not running regularly at the moment if you are interested in a regular HTM class please contact Christina. As soon as we have enough people interested in regular HTM classes we will provide them. (If you are not wishing to specialise in HTM but just wish to have fun with your dog and try new things you may enjoy our Bronze and Silver classes.) Also, although Christina does not have time to take general private lessons she will do her best to make time to fit in occasional HTM private or small group lessons.

Beginner Class - HTM from the beginning. We introduce new moves and there are usually plenty of new moves each month for people to choose moves that suit their dog to practice. We also introduce the idea of gradually fitting some of the moves to music and what to consider when choosing music for a routine. It is expected that dogs will already have some idea of training and owners will have some idea of clicker training (from level 1 puppy or beginner classes.)

Advanced Class - By the time dogs move into this class they are already putting routines together. The abilities in this group range from those who are half, tentitively, thinking about 'possibly competing one day in a few years time if you really think we're ready' (!) to those sucessfully competing at Intermediate level.

Private Lessons - Many people in the advanced class also book a private lesson once a month to work on specific things in their routines.

Group routines - These are done every now and again and are great fun when we do organise them! Often two seperate routines are choreographed, one for the beginners and the other for the more advanced dogs.

Instructor - Christina (Advanced Freestyle Handler, Intermediate Heelwork Handler, HTM and FS KC Judge.)

Cost - £8 per lesson paid monthly (on or before the start of each month, ie. £32 for a 4 lesson month, £40 for a 5 lesson month.) Private lessons - £25 per hour, plus hall hire where applicable.
