Group class information
Group classes are held on a Monday and Tuesday evening at the United Reform Church in Mangotsfield (click here for directions).

Group lessons give you the opportunity to mix with dog-like minded people, for your dog to meet other dogs in a controlled environment and the chance to train with many distractions that do not occur in your home, something which is important to practice with your dog to gain obedience when out and about in busy parks, beaches or streets.

Classes are for all breeds of dogs, typically no more than 8 dogs in a class at one time. Family members are welcome as long as there is an adult supervising children.

All group classes are in block sessions and booked in advance with Ace dog training. To book your place please either call (m) 0787 791 7796, (t) 0117 373 8615 or email Jo@acedogtraining.co.uk


It’s never too late to start teaching your dog new tricks.
