New sk9a group classes for 2024!

Were Taking Bookings NOW!

Sussex k9 academy Group Classes focus on general obedience, handler engagement and dog neutrality. These classes are designed for your dog to work in a group setting around distractions.

Whether you're new to training or just wanting to brush up on your existing skills, these sessions will benefit you. These sessions will cover all the basics but depending on the level your dog is performing at, we can fine tune exercises, so you and your dog will always be challenged.

At SK9A, we can always increase DISTANCE, DISTRACTIONS AND DURATION.

The SK9A group class is an excellent follow on from other SK9A Programs that we run, working your training around other dogs and people is the key to unlock the next level of dog training success!

If you have just got your puppy, Congratulations! Check out our details below on The SK9A PUPPY Classes and The SK9A Group class.
