On The Ball offers a wide variety of weekly classes, both in person and virtually. We are games based Concept Trainers, working in a fun way with our dogs in order to fix struggles and behavioural issues. relationship building and involves so much more than training a sit or a down.
I’m sure you can all relate – attending a dog training class but leaving without any more knowledge or progress with your dog – sometimes feeling that your dog was actually not right for that class at all!
At On The Ball, we are certain that whatever your struggle we can help you and your dog with the right training plan and advice. We train for real-life results that last! The hard work you put into your dog training won’t disappear the moment you leave the class. Our dogs are taught to make great decisions for themselves that they can put into practice in the real world.
I have a huge passion in working with dogs & their owners, and no matter the struggle I will give you my wholehearted support & guidance. There is nothing better than seeing the transformation take place and seeing the effect this has on the rest of the family.
