Intermediate and Advanced training

Continued training for all

Take your dog's skills to the next level with our advanced training pathways. Whether your dog graduated from our beginner course or trained elsewhere, we provide the perfect learning environment to unlock their full potential using the prestigious Royal Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Training Scheme.

 

Bronze Class: Building Strong Foundations

  • Perfect Next Step: Smoothly transition your dog from basic puppy training into real-world environments.

  • Core Focus: Solidify and proof essential life skills until they are second nature.

  • Real-World Skills: Practice walking calmly past major temptations and master a steady one-minute stay.

  • Official Certifications: Train for and achieve your official Kennel Club Bronze Award by mastering controlled walking through busy doorways, polite greetings without jumping, and pristine grooming manners.

 

Silver Class: Advanced Skills & Distraction Training

  • Eligibility: Designed for Bronze Class graduates or dogs with comparable previous training (pre-entry assessment provided).

  • Skill Upgrade: Fine-tune existing behaviours while opening the door to advanced obedience commands.

  • Silver Benchmarks: Progress to vehicle control, safe road walking, a relaxed two-minute stay, and returning to you even when highly distracted.

  • Official Certifications: Train for and achieve the recognized Kennel Club Silver Award.

 

Gold Class: Master Mastery, Sports & Display Team

  • Elite Training: Reserved for Silver Class graduates or dogs already holding a Kennel Club Silver Award.

  • Gold Standard: Polish the highest level of domestic skills, including a distant emergency stop, 40-pace off-lead heelwork, sending your dog to bed on command, and relaxed isolation.

  • Community & Fun: Access a wide range of thrilling canine activities, dog sports competitions, and spots on our exclusive club display team.

Rally Obedience Training Group

We offer competitive Rally Obedience Training for those dogs who have passed their Bronze award or equivalent training. Rally is like an obedience obstacle course where the handler and dog negotiate their way around a course following the sign instructions. It is a great way to build a bond with your dog, but also continues to challenge both dog and handler well above the good citizen scheme level. The group has several Rally judges training with us and we run the Durham County Rally Competition each year.
