Training
One system. Every stage of your dog’s life.
Structured programmes built on the DOPE System, delivered one-to-one and tailored to your dog, your handling and real life.
Where to start
Book an Assessment first.
Every programme begins with a structured Assessment, so you start on the right programme at the right level.
The dog is only half the training session.
D.O.P.E works exclusively one-to-one with owners and families. The aim is to improve your understanding and handling so progress continues when Chris is not there. Every programme is built on the DOPE System, Discover, Optimize, Perfect, Excel, and every journey starts with an Assessment.
