Reaching New Heights With Kennel Club Silver Intermediate Training

Our Star Pawformers Shooting Stars Intermediate Obedience Training Course is specifically designed for dogs that have completed our Rising Stars Course, building upon the skills already learnt and applying them to real-life situations with active distractions they will come across in every day life in and around your home.

Beginning to work on control from a distance, giving your dog more freedom whilst remaining under control, tricks and scent works will be introduced to further enhance your dog’s bond and relationship with you, enriching your dog’s life.

With our extensive experience in training dogs for the Improver APDT Good Companion Award and Kennel Club Silver Awards, our fantastic team will help you understand your dog’s behavior and the underlying psychology. Our aim is to train your new best friend to behave in a way that suits you and your family, fostering a strong bond and relationship for the future.

As your dog grows, building confidence and self-control becomes crucial. Our exclusive intermediate dog training courses are held two times a week in Silverdale, Stoke-on-Trent, with a maximum of 6 dogs per class. This ensures that each owner and dog receives the optimal support and guidance they need.

Upon completion of the course, we offer you the opportunity to continue progressing through the Kennel Club Silver & Gold Awards and the APDT Intermediate and Advanced Good Companion Awards. These national programs provide further training in day-to-day skills and promote responsible dog ownership.
