"Wow! Hands down the best dog training course I’ve ever been on. It made me think and smile in equal measure. The science angle was covered in an ‘easy to swallow’ style (whilst retaining its integrity) and the hands on practical workshops were deftly organised so that Students, Puppy-Owners and of course the puppies were learning in a fun, respectful and safe environment. Chirag’s warm, amusing style made learning a joy. The amount of material covered was huge compared to other courses – my brain aches! Questions were encouraged and woven into group discussions which made us all feel like we were ‘in it together’. Chirag, Sally and Michael created the perfect learning environment; definitely the most useful and enjoyable course I’ve been on. So much so, I’ve booked in for more! " Joy

Puppy training is often looked at as the easy group course to teach, however if you want to set-up a puppy for life then mistakes made at this crucial point can have a lifetime of consequences. There is so much information about puppy training out there - But what is based on fact and what is based on opinion but treated like fact? Should you teach puppy and owners with clickers or without? To have off lead play or not?
This course is useful for people
During the 7 days you will learn how to help puppies develop socialisation skills and teach their owners how to allow the puppy to develop appropriate skills and create a puppy-human relationship that is based on trust, confidence and empowerment. There is also a focus on teaching puppies behaviours that are useful for daily living and help prepare then to cope with all of life’s challenges.
Each student will also benefit from a 20 minute private mentoring session with Chirag. This one to one session is designed to help you go forward with your plans and implement what you have learnt to progress your business and training goals.
No matter how good you are as an animal trainer you are likely to make a minimal impact in the puppy-person relationship unless you have skills in helping owners change their behaviours too. So during the workshop we also focus and practice implementing all the training with people.

Reviews:
“Dear Chirag, My highest compliments to anyone is: ''you are a machine'' and I must pay it to you. Thank you for brining some extraordinary talents to the world of dogs.” Jean Donaldson Internationally respected trainer and author
"I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you so much for enabling Ziggy and I to attend the puppy training course last week. It was really enjoyable, and insightful and everyone was so kind and generous. Thanks also for all the goodies we received they are coming into good use already. It was a pleasure to time with like minded people and we learned a lot. I hope that everyone got what they were hoping for from the course, and please, if you're able, pass on my thanks to Chirag, and all the trainees. All the best," Jemima and Ziggy. x
"It was excellent and the only way it could have been improved was by having an extra day and perhaps working with his chickens. It has completely made me think about the way I train my dogs in a new way and I would say it's essential for all apprentices to do during the apprenticeship."
"The facilitator was very engaging and passionate about his subject. I did not want the presentation to end! Excellent - engaging from start to end."
"This course has the balance between practical and theory just right. You get the opportunity to positively impact on new puppy guardians and the main theme that runs through everything is that being positive and non judgemental are reinforcers for everyone." Jacquie
