🐾 WGDA — Woofies Good Dog Award

Real Life Social Skills Programme

Limited Spaces Available

Does your dog struggle to stay calm around distractions, pull on the lead, become over-excited around dogs or people, or find it difficult to settle in real-life situations?

The Woofies Good Dog Award (WGDA) is a carefully designed 5-week social skills programme focused on building calmness, focus, confidence and real-life freedom in a supportive, modern training environment.

This is not about perfect obedience.
It’s about helping dogs learn how to calmly and confidently exist in the real world.

Through structured weekly progression, we help dogs and owners develop practical everyday skills using kind, reward-based training methods and real-life scenarios.
