Thanks,
Neil.

Go for it

I attend classes there with the giddiest beagle mix ever - 8 to a class and 2 trainers so you are almost getting one on one attention

In just 4 weeks from doing barely a sit she is doing a down , relax , coming back , sitting and staying. It's also fantastic controlled atmosphere for socialising your dog.
My other brat of a terrier is excelling at agility there too.

I can really recommend them as they use motivational methods only - no harsh training , the dogs are their 1st priority unlike some schools of training.

Pm me if you need any further info.

I would defo recommend booking the course! I started off with my puppy and worked my whole way through the list of courses from basic up to clicker and agility! We LOVE going - he loves going and I have a fantastic little dog now for that.
My other dog I have done the heel work and difficult dogs with her and had amazing results with her on both counts! I went from rope burns to loose lead walking and from lunging out trying to try bite dogs and to being able to have 3 foster dogs living in my house during the summer for 7 weeks!
I couldn't recommend them higher enough. I have also tried different classes but DTI was far the best and I learned the most Best of luck - enjoy!

Hi suzy,

What age was your puppy. I have a 15 week old beagle bitch and want to get her into a similar class. Looking at their website what course did you choose.

Thanks,
Tom

She's 4 ............
We did the basic obedience

She's been doing agility for 2 years but really needed to learn to wait at the beginning of the course etc so we did this class.
I'm really pleased with her.
Never to late to learn !

It's great to see someone researching training for dogs rather than just going to joe soap who slaps a choke chain on your dog and then parades you around in circles for an hour:rolleyes:

I've brought a few dogs to Dog Training Ireland and found them excellent. Like Jodie Charlie I've attended quite a few of their courses from Level 1 through to agility along with their Difficult Dogs courses and Agression seminars that they hold. All their training is based around reward and motivation and their classes are kept small so you get loads of attention! It's easy to see that they keep themselves well informed and up to date with training methods and also if you look at their website you'll see they are members of the APDT - http://www.apdt.co.uk/ It's worth checking out to see their principles of training etc.

Like I say well done for doing some research and I can't recommend this place highly enough!:) Oh and just to add....their premises is indoors and heated..........something to think about coming into winter:D

Thats great news, thanks for the info folks.

I rang dogtrainingIreland today and they sound very helpful and seem to know what they are talking about.
I'm going to book the beginners class tonight, I have a hyperactive bull terrier that needs to be brought down to earth
She walks on the lead ok and sits for me but she needs more socialization.

Thanks again,
Neil.

Hi

Does anyone have any recent experiences with dogtraining Ireland? Was thinking of going to their puppy training classes.

Hopefully it's ok to reply to the thread as it's 3 years old...

Big DTI fans in our house - so much so I got accused for working for them the other weeks cos I'm always talking about them!!! :rolleyes:http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056098507&page=4

We've done obedience and heelwork and he goes to daycare too. I've learnt LOADS from the classes. People always comment on how good my dog is - I automatically think they're crazy and that he's bold!!...but when I think about it he IS good and it's from putting what we learned at class into practice. One example from his obedience class - when he was neutered, cut his paw and had an operation on his leg (not all at the same time lol) there was no problems with him messing with the bandages or wounds - he knew his leave it command and once we told him to leave it alone he did.

Cheers tk.

Seems like you've learned a lot! It's more for socialisation than training although hopefully we pick up a few things.
