Training at VIP Kennels
We recommend Billericay Dog Training School (01268 492237 and www.bdts.org.uk)
where excellent training classes and courses are available with outstanding facilities. BDTS only uses kind, fair and positive
reinforcement techniques that are highly effective.
At
VIP Kennels we offer the following:
Behavioural
Counselling
Dogs with specific behavioural problems
usually need to be seen. at least initially, in their home situation. Afterwards sessions at the kennels where we have a very
controlled and safe environment may be needed to modify certain behaviour although this is not always necassary. Undesirable
behaviour associated with particular locations is often best treated where it occurs so we are happy to work with the dog
anywhere. Any dog that develops behavioural problems should always be checked by a vet prior to counselling.
Specialist Training
These can be tailored to individual needs e.g. a reliable recall can be taught in 2 one hour sessions
with sufficient practice at home in between.
Basic Residential Training
This can be useful
especially for younger dogs and includes a 90-minute session with the owner on the return of the dog.
Special Residential Training
If a dog has a specific need that can be addressed in a kennel environment we can undertake to
modify the behaviour during a stay with us. This will depend on a number of factors including the length of stay, the eradication
of any contributing factors in the home and the owner's willingness to continue with the therapy when the dog goes home.

Most of our training is done at Billericay Dog Training School where there are outstanding facilities and where we hold weekly behavioural counselling clinics.
At VIP Kennels we provide one to one training and training in small groups
with a special focus on dealing with both acute and chronic behavioural issues.
We offer a home visit service to resolve difficult situations and are always happy to offer advise
on all aspects of dog care and training.
