Top Dogs - Out & About

Service Description

Our Top Dogs Out & About course takes everything you and your dog have learned and puts it into practice in real-world settings across Dorridge, Knowle, Barston, and Solihull. These mobile sessions are designed to build confidence, enhance obedience, and prepare your dog for everyday experiences—while having plenty of fun along the way. Your dog will be introduced to novel and controlled social experiences, such as riding on a train, walking near skateboard parks, and safely meeting livestock like alpacas and sheep in a privately owned field. These encounters are carefully designed to desensitise and build reliability around real-life distractions, including future walks through livestock fields. This course is exclusively for graduates of our Young Pups, Tweenies, or 121 programmes. A solid foundation of obedience is essential, as we build on existing skills in more stimulating and unpredictable environments. Alongside advanced obedience and socialisation, we also include our popular Class and a Glass sessions—where we stop off at dog-friendly cafés or pubs. These allow dogs to practise settling in public spaces, while owners relax and connect with their fellow trainers. Open to dogs aged 10 months and older, with no upper age limit—this is the final step in the Animal Kind Group Classes Journey, where you and your dog graduate as true Top Dogs.
