An exciting dog training facility based at Newbarn Farm, Brick Kiln Road, in Raunds, BUDS, is a friendly and happy place to bring your dog to learn the basics of good manners and give you a lifetime of happy ownership and friendship together.

If you are interested in furthering your dog’s career in agility or showing BUDS can help and support you to follow that dream.

Sessions start from just £6 with special rates available for set courses, times are flexible.

Are you looking to find yourself a new companion in the near future but are worried that you don’t really know what you’re taking on? BUDS can help ease your mind with sessions dedicated to advising and teaching YOU the basics before your bundle of joy comes home – preparation is everything.

Do you have a pedigree dog that you would like to show? BUDS has experienced handlers in the show ring that can get you started, from teaching ring etiquette to how to enter a show. Junior handlers can also come along to practice their ring skills.

Is your child driving you mad because they want to have a go at agility and you don’t have the time or situation to have a dog? BUDS can help both young and old to have a go at agility classes without the need for your own dog (subject to availability).

Are you experienced in agility and need to practice on your own terms? BUDS offers equipment for hire on an hourly basis (subject to terms and conditions).

BUDS can supply you with schedules and support to enter shows whatever your chosen field.

From new owner to experienced competitor, BUDS can help you and your dog become a dream team. We understand training sessions should be fun for both dog and owner, a real sense of achievement should be the aim of every session. Each dog and owner that comes to us will be treated as individuals and their needs will be met by lessons based on what they need to personally achieve.

Contact me for an initial discussion. Lesson times are flexible with a maximum number of handlers in each class.

Open all year.

PUPPY CLASSES are on an eight week long scheme, teaching basic manners and control, your puppy’s needs as he grows, homework to aid your progression through the weeks. Rosettes and certificates will be awarded for certain criteria at the end of each course. Includes controlled puppy playtime to encourage socialisation. During this course we will help you with any problems you may be having with your puppy as an individual including advice on behaviour, feeding, health issues etc. All classes take place outside in a field so puppies do not become noise sensitive and nervous in an enclosed space.

Courses run for 8 weeks and last approximately 45 minutes = £40 per puppy for the entire course.

 

BASIC OBEDIENCE classes are designed only for puppies to move into when they have completed the Puppy Course. We will help you with any issues you may be struggling with and teach your dog the commands he needs to live with you in harmony.

These classes are priced at £6 an hour, for as long as it takes. There is no set course time for these classes. Regular assessments accompany this course to ensure owners are reaching their full potential.
