IMDT Partnership Grades

Structured training with real-life skills, teamwork and achievable goals.

The IMDT Partnership Grades are a progressive training pathway to help you and your dog grow in confidence together. Working through Grades 1 - 6, you will build practical skills alongside focus, engagement and a stronger connection with your dog.

Each level includes a mixture of:

  • Loose lead walking

  • Recall foundations

  • Impulse control

  • Focus and Engagement

  • Handling and life skills

  • Fun tricks and teamwork exercises

Dogs progress at their own pace in a supportive, small class environment, with plenty of encouragement along the way.  Each completed grade earns an official IMDT certificate to celebrate their achievement.

Best for: owners wanting a clear training pathway, continuing training after puppy classes, building confidence and connection and families wanting enjoyable, practical life skills.

Hoopers

Low impact fun, flowing courses and teamwork.

Hoopers is a fun, low impact sport where dogs learn to navigate hoops, barrels and tunnels in smooth flowing courses. It builds confidence, independence, focus and handler connection without the jumping demands of agility.

Best for: dogs of all ages, dogs who enjoy movement and owners interested in a fun and inclusive sport.

Group Walks

Enrichment walks

My enriching group walks through the beautiful Mottisfont countryside are a space where your dog can explore, socialise, and build confidence in a natural, calm setting. These gentle adventures provide your furry companion with the perfect balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and socialisation opportunities. As we wander through varied terrain, I'll guide you in encouraging your dog's natural abilities while helping them overcome hesitations. I keep our groups small and relaxed, ensuring each dog receives attention while enjoying the freedom to discover new experiences.
