Canine Country Etiquette Training

The Canine Country Etiquette course was designed by Keith Fallon following increased dog incidents involving livestock, wildlife and game birds in rural areas.

The course was featured on BBC Countryfile.

Canine Country Etiquette Training in more detail:

• Increasing dog owners awareness of the countryside and the potential problems when walking their dog. This includes understanding more about farming practices, land ownership and management and penalties for dog owners
• Assessing the dog’s level of training and putting together a plan geared towards country walks
• Teaching the owner how to control their dog around livestock and horses
• Teaching distance control techniques (getting the dog to stop and wait)
• Using distraction methods such as retrieving or games such as Find It!
• Use of the whistle
• Off lead heeling

Training Methods:

• Using our Common Sense style of training using positive reinforcement.
• Small manageable groups or 1 to 1
• Easy paced and fun.

The branches at Gloucestershire & Oxfordshire have excellent training facilities and at Oxfordshire a small flock of sheep
