What People Think...
I have never been to any sort of puppy/ dog training classes before and was quite nervous at the thought but Alistair’s classes have been fab! My 6 month old sausage dog Wilson has come out of his nervous shell and has been doing so well each week with puppy socialisation. He has surprised me with how much he has learnt over the 6 week course and it fills me with confidence that I can take on the practices and techniques I have learnt to continue teaching Wilson now that the course has ended. Alistair is friendly, helpful and energetic and is always ready to answer any questions with his knowledge base. Thank you.
Fantastic beginner course! Lots of useful tools and tips. Kona our 5 month old GSD is doing very well with loose leash walking now. Great start for recall training and feel confident we can progress and improve going forward. Alistair has been very helpful and welcoming with all aspects. With our high energy breed I have no doubt we will need future guidance and we will be going straight to Alistair Kirk's Canine Academy! A*****
A great learning curve for not only Dexter (11mth Sproker), but also for myself. The class size was great with clear and concise instructions from Alistair not only during the classes but also via the online recordings which we could watch to remind ourselves of what to do. The training is all about positive reinforcement, ensuring that you have a great bond with your dog and that he/she is happy.
