Real-Life Training, Real Results – For Pup Start and 1-2-1 Graduates

If you’ve completed our Pup Start programme or had 1-2-1 training, the University of Life Training Club is the perfect next step. These ongoing, progressive sessions are held in real-world public spaces around the St Austell area and help you build practical, reliable skills for everyday life with your dog.

Whether you're working on walking through a busy town, relaxing at a café, or handling distractions on a woodland path, this club is where your training becomes truly functional.

​

When & Where

• Alternating Mondays at 10am

• Alternating Wednesdays at 4.30pm

• Locations include Charlestown, beaches, woodland trails, St Austell town centre and more

Each week we rotate venues to provide varied challenges, giving your dog regular exposure to real-life distractions in a safe, supportive environment.

​

What We Work On

Each session focuses on core life skills:

• Loose lead walking around people, dogs, prams, and more

• Settling on a mat in busy public areas

• Reliable recall, even when distractions are high

Sessions are small, friendly, and practical. You’ll receive individual support and feedback within a group setting, helping your dog progress at their own pace.

​

Structured Progression: Bronze, Silver & Gold

The University of Life is designed as a long-term club with clear stages of progression:

🟤 Bronze

• Foundation skills in low-to-mid distraction areas

• Calm behaviour around other dogs

• Introductions to mat work, loose lead, and recall

• Confidence building in new environments

⚪ Silver

• Mid-to-high distraction environments

• Settle in public (cafés, benches, markets)

• Reliable recall from dogs and people

• Increasing handler focus

🟡 Gold

• Complex environments with multiple distractions

• Loose lead walking through crowds and narrow spaces

• Long-duration settles in dynamic public settings

• Emergency recall and disengagement on cue

You can move through levels as your dog builds confidence and consistency. There’s no rush—progression is flexible and based on readiness.

More Than Just Training

This club isn’t just about obedience—it’s about building real-life reliability and a sense of community. Many of our members enjoy the social side of training just as much as their dogs do.

• Friendly, supportive atmosphere

• Ongoing training goals

• A chance to connect with like-minded owners

Whether your goal is to enjoy peaceful walks, visit cafés with ease, or simply feel less stressed in busy places, the University of Life offers consistent, long-term support to help you get there.

Join a like-minded community and build skills that last a lifetime.
