KIMBERLY COX DOG TRAINING
Developing happy, balanced family pets
WORKSHOPS
Our workshops focus on a specific area of obedience and training. In the same way as our classes, they are designed to be fun, relaxed and friendly, whilst still teaching your and your dog valuable life skills and techniques to develop your beloved pet into a happy, balanced dog.
Workshops mostly take place outdoors so that you and your dog can learn in a realistic environment. However, specialist workshops, such as Obedience Around Horses and Scent Work always take place in an indoor venue.
Our beginner workshops such as Introduction to Fun Gun Dog and Ultimate Recall can be attended at any time of your dog's development, once they are fully vaccinated. Other workshops such as Social Walking can only be attended by dogs that Kimberly has met and who have completed either a 1:1 or Puppy Life Skills
Obedience Around Horses
Horse attacks from dogs is on the rise and even if your dog just barks or gets too close to horses, they risk getting kicked and damaging themselves as well as the horse and rider. This workshop is designed to help you increase the control and focus around the distraction of horses.
During this workshop you will be able to build on the skills you need to control your dog around the distraction of horses in a real-life environment. You will work your dog around horses during the workshop, but we will start with the basics and work-up to passing a horse and rider trotting past you and your dog.

Recall & Off-Lead
Recall is one of our client's biggest challenges.
It can sometimes be daunting to let your puppy or dog off lead for the first time, and absolutely frightening if they get out of sight or won't come back.
Our Ultimate Recall Workshops are designed to give you the skills and techniques to ensure a reliable recall whatever the distraction, dogs, birds, people, balls or bicycles, and many more.
