Obedience Training
When you first bring your little bundle of joy home you think you are prepared for everything until they nip, bark, go mad and everything else all things puppies do.
We have made a commitment and as such need to provide for your dogs needs, both physical and emotional. This means providing nutritious food, clean drinking water, shelter, and the opportunity to live in a safe home.
But to get the most out of dog ownership we need to work with and get the most out of our extended family. We do this by training. It sounds boring but this is the really fun and most rewarding part of owning a dog! Training your new friend needs to be high on your list of priorities.
At Fair City we offer training classes for both adult and puppy. We pride ourselves in the fact that dogs ( and owners) remain with us for course after course, developing a great network of friends and dog-training colleagues. We take satisfaction in only using reward-based training methods, combined with a high level of understanding of canine behaviour and the use of up-to-date behaviour modification techniques to achieve great results. We are a Kennel Club Listed and offer the Good Citizen Dog Scheme at all levels from Puppy Foundation to Gold.
KC Good Citizen Puppy Foundation
The Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme Puppy Foundation Assessment aims to provide a means of socialising puppies and to lay down a foundation for education and training. On successful completion of the course puppies will respond to their handlers and the handlers will have an awareness of the responsibilities of dog ownership. The inclusion of play exercises adds an extra dimension to a dog’s life and can be used to make training fun. Constructive play and suitable incentives are encouraged within this puppy training programme.
Classes are designed for vaccinated puppies aged from about 12 weeks up to one year. Class numbers are restricted, we currently run 2 classes simultaneously with only 6 puppies per class, ensuring that plenty of individual attention is provided.

KC Good Citizen Bronze Award
The Bronze course is targeted at owners who would like to take their training to the next level.
This level is where training really starts to take off, with greater focus from both the handler and dog.
We continue to work on those essential life skills such as loose lead walking, stay, leave, having a dog who is comfortable to be handled/groomed, appropriate meet and greet behaviour, jumping up and basic recall skills.
We also find we can include older or re-homed dogs within this class with limited knowledge of training.
Classes are set for a minimum of 6 weeks and class numbers are restricted to eight puppies.
