Everyday Essentials
Basic Foundations

A practical foundation course for everyday life with your dog. Everyday Essentials is perfect for beginners, newly adopted dogs, or anyone wanting to refresh the basics and build better habits at home and out in the real world.

​

Designed for dogs aged 6 months and over, this course focuses on the core skills every dog needs — including focus, loose lead walking, recall foundations, calm behaviour, polite greetings, and everyday manners. Using positive, reward-based training, we’ll help you create clear communication, build confidence, and strengthen your connection with your dog.
