Dog Training Sessions - Mixed Abilities

Ickworth is working in partnership with Forthglade to provide wonderful experiences for our visitors with dogs.

Join us as we welcome Ellie from Smart Nose Dog Training. She will be providing free training classes for you and your dog. Exercises can vary month to month so anybody who wants to attend more than one session will get the chance to learn new training techniques.

Learn basic training such as helping your dog to get out of the car calmly, wait while you’re stopping to chat and loose lead walking. Learn all the tips and tricks to make sure your dog has an enjoyable day out for every time you visit Ickworth.

We're inviting 12 dogs per session, so your booking is valid for your dog. You’re welcome to bring along other people to join you in the training. Sessions are 1 hour long.

What to bring: • Your dog! • Your dog must be wearing a well-fitted flat collar or fixed harness with a fixed lead (no choke chains, slip leads, flexi leads or 'non pull' harnesses that tighten around the waist) • Lots of small treats in an easily accessible treat pouch or pocket • A bed/mat/towel for your dog to settle on between exercises

Please note: Your dog's behaviour is your responsibility and dogs must be kept on a lead at all times. Please be respectful of other dogs and their handlers. You’re responsible for ensuring your dog is fit and healthy to attend training and is fully vaccinated.
