6 – 8 handler & dog spaces

8 Week Courses, 1 hour sessions

Your Instructor is Cathy Chambers

Multisports is about giving you a taster of different sports or activities. The main ones currently include agility, scent detection, tricks, Rally / Competition Obedience.  

The purpose of these courses is to enable you to discover, not only what you enjoy, but also what your dog takes to and enjoys.  A couple of weeks spent on each activity, the order of which will be influenced by the weather because some are outdoor only activities, some easy indoor activities.

In these classes you and your dog will initially be taught foundation skills relevant to each sport/activity.   Open to dogs from 9 months of age who are familiar and comfortable with group environments. Cathy has competed in all the sports listed, including being amongst the Crufts top ten finalists in Freestyle Heelwork To Music twice.

If you are grabbed by one particular sport that you want to then focus on,  we can point you in the right direction, be it within PIP or externally, for good places to go in order to achieve more. 

If you simply enjoy doing a little bit of everything, you can remain in Multisports, and develop through the levels of beginners, intermediate & advanced.

Mondays 9.45am.

3 – 4 handler spaces

6 Week Courses, 1 ½ hour sessions

Your Instructor is Sarah Ward

Tracking is wonderful sport, tapping into your dog’s natural abilities. This task fulfils our dogs both mentally and physically. Because tracking is a line handling activity, it is a great outlet for dogs who, for whatever reason, are unable to go off lead.

Sarah supports handlers who are just starting out in working trials competitions, helps people train for UK Tracking tests and ultimately provides this service just for the benefit of your dogs.

Although the groups are small, outdoors, with space around them, dogs do need to be comfortable in the vicinity of other dogs.

Dogs can start tracking from 6 months old.

You need an appropriate harness and a line, which Sarah can discuss with you.

Spaces only open up occasionally for this sport at the moment.

Foundation Gun Dog

Mondays 12.45pm

6 Handler & Dog Spaces

6 Week Courses, 1 hour sessions

Your Instructor is Rebecca Lawrence-Baker

Gun dog training is one of the oldest sports and works with many dog's natural instincts.  Our Foundation Gun Dog training establishes the core control skills involved which includes: 
whistle stops
whistle and verbal recalls

heelwork

stays/waits

basic retrieve which we then develop into more challenging formations.

Foundation gun dog training is an invaluable overlap with building good pet dog control for day to day life.

For those who would like to take the sport training further, we can connect you through good channels.

Agility is now one of the most popular sports there is. It is always great fun watching handlers and dogs run agility courses at local shows or Crufts, but it is only when you start training in agility that you realise how many skills there are to learn to create what you see. Agility doesn’t just provide a physical workout; it provides a mental one too.

At Pets In Partnership we focus on handlers having fun with their family dogs, but teach to a standard and style that enables you to explore the option of competing if you feel inclined to.

Most of us don’t have the gardens or the equipment to simulate class lessons back at home, however we still give you skills homework, tasks and exercises that you can easily work on in between sessions that will power you forwards together.

Scent Detection Training has become a leading activity / sport over the last few years, providing a pet dog version of the real work that service dogs do in the forces, with the police, or security teams.

Like tracking, it taps into our dogs’ natural skill sets and brings them a huge amount of job satisfaction.

First, they have to learn the skills of indication, then learn to identify a chosen scent to search for. As they develop, they start with simple searches that expand into increasingly challenging ones.

Become a team, and detect where the hidden scent lies.
