Our values and philosophies
drive every aspect of our dog training

A harmonious relationship between dogs and their owners is built upon a strong foundation of mutual understanding, effective communication, and mental & physical fulfilment.

Socialisation & neutrality

Developing a balanced dog who is able to easily navigate a variety of social situations with confidence.

Responsible ownership

Understanding every aspect of what a dog needs in order to not only survive, but thrive in their daily lives.

Play & relationship

Play is more than a game; it's a way to meet a dog's genetic needs & build a lasting relationship.

Controlled freedom

Balancing safety and control with the right to explore surroundings & exhibit natural behaviours.

Mental & physical enrichment

Dogs experience true fulfilment when their minds are stimulated and their bodies are exercised.

Wellbeing & genetics

Looking holistically at the individual dog to determine how we can meet their needs based on their biological traits.
