Events & Workshops

Join Well Behaved Mutts for occasional training sessions and seasonal events in York.

From guided Walk and Train sessions to festive fun, our events are a chance to spend time with your dog, build confidence and practise useful skills using positive, reward-based training.

Christmas Party

A little Christmas fun for you and your dog

Celebrate the festive season with Well Behaved Mutts! We’ve got 45 minutes of Christmas games and activities planned for dogs and their people, with a festive photo opportunity to capture the occasion.

We’ll be putting a dog-friendly twist on some classic party games, mixing in simple training challenges and plenty of tasty rewards. It’s a chance to have a laugh, enjoy time with your dog and put some of their skills into practice.

Everything will use our usual positive, reward-based approach. You’re welcome to join in at your dog’s pace, sit out a game or take a break whenever needed.

Date: Saturday 19 December 2026
Time: 4:30–5:15pm
Venue: Huntington Community Centre, York
Price: £15 per dog

What to bring

Bring plenty of small treats, your dog’s usual lead, a comfortable collar or harness, and poo bags.

Christmas jumpers and festive outfits are welcome for owners! Dogs can wear a festive accessory if they’re happy and comfortable wearing it.

If your dog finds groups or being around other dogs difficult, please get in touch before booking so we can check whether the party would suit them.

Walk and Train

Build everyday skills around other dogs

Our occasional Walk and Train sessions take place in a secure dog park, combining guided walking with short training activities.

In a small, supported group, you’ll practise skills such as:

• Loose lead walking

• Focus and checking in with you

• Recall

• Calm behaviour around other dogs

• Waiting and settling

You’ll work at your dog’s pace, with space between dogs and guidance from Jess throughout. Dogs won’t be expected to greet or play with one another.

Is it suitable for my dog?

These sessions are for owners who want to practise everyday training around other dogs with support.

If your dog finds being around other dogs difficult, please get in touch before booking so we can discuss whether the session would suit them.

Sessions run on selected dates. Dates, venue, prices and booking details coming soon.
