Posted on 3rd October 2014 Basics are okay but dog behaviour go elsewhere
If you already have a happy, socialised and friendly dog then Beeching and White are fine for basic training BUT the trainer we used didn't seem to have any idea about dog behaviour. We booked a training session and only one other dog showed up who was also reactive to other dogs like our one. That should have been a red flag to the trainer who proceeded to force these 2 dogs to meet in the hope it would help socialise them. Even a layperson knows that trying to socialise a reactive dog with another reactive dog is just incorrect. Unfortunately my dog got nipped on the face and has made her even more fearful of other dogs. If you don't mind your dog being thrown in at the deep end on day 1 then book them but my advice is avoid these classes if you have a dog reactive dog.
