Training Class Especially for Labradors & Golden Retrievers

Join our 8-week ‘Labrador & Golden Retriever Bootcamp’ – an exclusive chance for Retrievers to boost their skills! This class focuses on essential skills which Retriever owners often struggle with most: lead walking, recall, excitability, obedience.

This exciting class is designed especially for Labrador & Golden Retriever’s breed-specific needs and behaviors. You’ll also enjoy Agility Training Week and Scent Detection Week! Both are mentally stimulating and enriching dog training which Retrievers love and thrive at! Don’t miss out on this chance to improve your Retriever’s training while having fun with a small group of other Labrador & Golden Retriever parents!

  • Pay weekly
  • £20 per week

Catch-Up Session Update

From 19th September 2026, free catch-up sessions will no longer be included with our Dog Training classes. Bookings made before this date will still be honoured under the previous policy.

If you miss a class, you’ll still have two great ways to catch up:

1. The Monthly Catch-Up Workshop

Join our group catch-up session, held once a month. Spaces are limited, so early booking is recommended.

2. Private 1-2-1 Catch-Up Session

Prefer one-on-one attention? Book a private intensive session with your trainer for just £15 for 30 minutes (usually £65 per hour). It’s shorter than a class because it’s fully personalised to you and your dog — no group setting means faster progress in less time.

NEW! Labrador & Golden Retriever Bootcamp 3hr Workshop

Looking for expert Labrador and Golden Retriever training without the commitment of weekly classes? Our new Retriever Bootcamp Workshop has been designed for owners who want focused, personalised training in a flexible format.

This is a private 1-2-1 3-hour private workshop – an intensive tailored version of our popular Bootcamp 8 week Class, giving you and your dog dedicated one-to-one coaching.

Perfect for owners travelling from further afield or those with busy schedules, this workshop allows you to achieve real progress in a 3 hour workshop.  Whether you’re struggling with lead pulling, poor recall, over-excitement, engagement, or general obedience, the session is fully customised to your individual goals and your dog’s temperament.

Our private Retriever workshop is particularly suited to:

  • Owners who can’t commit to weekly training classes
  • Clients travelling long distances for professional Labrador & Golden Retriever training
  • Dogs who become reactive, anxious, or overstimulated around other dogs
  • Owners who prefer private, focused coaching
  • Young, excitable Retrievers’ who learn better on a 121 basis
  • Handlers looking for faster progress with tailored guidance

What To Expect

During your 3-hour intensive workshop, we’ll focus on the areas that matter most to you and your dog. With expert guidance and practical exercises, you’ll learn how to build better communication, improve obedience, and develop calmer, more reliable behaviour both at home and out in the real world.

Because this is a completely private session, training can progress at a pace that suits both you and your dog.

The Benefits of 1-to-1 Training

Both Labradors and Golden retrievers are intelligent working dogs that thrive with clear guidance and structured training. A private workshop allows us to work closely with you to address behavioural challenges directly, without the pressure or distractions of a busy group setting.

This personalised approach often helps owners feel more confident handling issues such as:

  • Reactivity towards dogs or people
  • Excessive excitement and lack of focus
  • Loose lead walking (without pulling)
  • Recall training (coming back to you off lead)
  • Confidence building (for nervous dogs)
  • Impulse control
  • General obedience and paying attention to you not distractions

Labrador & Golden Retriever Play Session

All Labrador and Golden retrievers , mixes and their owners are invited to come along and join in the fun at our Retrievers Off-Lead Play Sessions.

Why is Social Time with Others So Important for Your Retriever?

Socialisation is so important for your Retriever’s development. Dogs are social creatures and benefit from mixing in groups. Puppies and young dogs learn many social skills at these gatherings – watching, listening and copying others in the group. Older dogs can benefit from that extra bit of excitement and stimulation – helping them to stay young at heart and fitter for longer. Plus teaching those youngsters how to behave!

Meeting up with the gang is exactly what many dogs enjoy doing. So, join in the fun and let your dog be a happy, sociable dog!

  • For under 9 months old please join our Puppy Party Play Sessions for under 12 months old
