(Please see below for current course roster)

As Barking Mad DTS has exclusive use of its own outdoor training facility near the village of Gravely (Herts) we can offer various themed ‘intensive’ courses – full time sessions (normally 10.00am to 3.30pm) over anything from one day to seven days. See below for examples of regularly scheduled intensive courses.

Intensive course customers benefit from smaller class sizes; more ‘one-on-one’ time with the trainer; long and constructive training sessions with a real sense of achievement at the end of each day; and the opportunity to try things and perfect things that are just not possible during shorter sessions.

Often courses will involve demonstrations and talks, as well as specialised practical training with one of our expert instructors. Effective and kind dog training takes patience and time – many customers find these intensive courses a good way to make dramatic progress.

You could sign up for one of our pet training crash courses; use our Introduction To Working Trials as a spring-board to competition; or impress visitors with some special moves learnt on our Dog Tricks days. We normally schedule intensive courses as time and demand allow, so for full details you should call or email.
