Intermediate Training Classes

Course Content

Six-week set of practical classes suitable for any age dog who has completed a puppy follow-on class with Surrey Dog School or similar elsewhere and/or meets the criteria set out below. We will be working on the following cues but adding difficulty to each exercise with distance, duration and distractions being added slowly to proof your training in a controlled manner;


To teach these exercises takes time, and dedication. You will not be able to achieve the list below by attending six one-hour sessions! Many of our clients repeat the Intermediate Classes as we are able to increase the difficulty for each dog/handler individually and set tasks to work on each week.

Vacination Requirements

You can attend with your puppy once their second course of vaccinations has been completed and are able to mix safely with the other puppies.

Location and Venue

Surrey Dog School
Apps Court Farm (Gate One)
Hurst Road
Walton-On-Thames
KT12 2EG

Drive through Gate One for 50 yards and the school is the first large building on your right with toll free parking in front.

People Who Can Attend

We can allow a maximum of 4 handlers per puppy.
Children are welcome, but we must ask they remain seated unless asked to perform training so as to avoid any distractions for your puppy.

What to Expect On Arrival

  • There is a toll-free car park outside the School for you to use with a good sized grassed area for your puppy to spend a penny!
  • We ask all owners to wait outside the school by their cars.
  • We will open up the school door and call you in one-by-one (so as to avoid any stress to your puppy or so we can assist if they are feeling a bit shy).

SAFETY: Please do not attempt to enter the school unless called in on arrival or if late please ring the bell on the door and wait to be brought in. This is due to there being loose dogs or reactive dogs being brought out. Always wait away from the main entrance.
