Services
Our range of services
provides a spectrum of holistic dog training
Socialisation is at the heart of what we do. Whether you’re starting out with a new puppy and want to get it right from the beginning, or you’re looking to improve some problem areas, we have something for everyone.
Socialisation Board & Train
This service aims to improve the errors typically made when socialising a dog. Socialisation is widely misunderstood, meaning many dogs are either fearful or too excitable. Whether your dog is too pushy and boisterous around other dogs, or whether they’re too shy to tolerate even brief interactions, we welcome them into our home to spend time with our balanced pack of stooge dogs to learn new skills. After careful integration into our pack and exposure to a number of controlled real-life situations, your dog will end their stay with us more neutral and well-rounded when it comes to other dogs encountered on walks.
5 Week Puppy Course
Your puppy’s training starts from the day you bring them home. Our bespoke puppy package teaches you and your puppy all the foundations you’ll need for a harmonious life together, as well as the skills to build a solid relationship. Our package is so much more than the average ‘sit, stay, paw’ lessons in a busy village hall; the 1:1 aspect means you have our undivided attention to discuss crucial aspects of puppy training such as toilet training, socialisation and manners. We tailor each lesson according to your puppy, and they will even have the opportunity to learn body language in a safe way thanks to our neutral pack of stooge dogs.
Socialisation Walks
Our socialisation walks are designed for those who wish to practise their functional obedience & neutrality around another like-minded individual. We can meet in various locations, and challenge your dog with different skills, dogs, people and experiences each time. Our personal pack of expert stooge dogs also attend, providing you with exposure to off-lead dogs in a safe and controlled way. We also welcome requests for setup scenarios if there’s something in particular you’re looking to work on. Depending on your dog’s current level of ability, we can thoroughly adjust each experience to support them in their training.
Puppy Board & Train
This popular service takes the hard part out of puppy raising – leave the endless toilet breaks and management to the experts, and collect your puppy in 2-4 weeks knowing a large chunk of the foundational training has been done!
This service is aimed at puppies who are 4 months or younger, and is centred around crucial aspects of raising a puppy such as environmental exposure, socialisation, crate training and basic obedience. Your puppy will have a fantastic start to life, and you will be safe in the knowledge that most of the early work has been done for you, with controlled exposure to balanced stooge dogs and confidence-building in a variety of fun, yet safe, environments.
Problem Behaviour
Our 1:1 lessons will help you to resolve nuisance, antisocial or problematic behaviours such as pulling on the lead, lack of recall, reactivity to other dogs, chewing & jumping in the home or anxiety when left alone. Our unique, holistic, balanced approach to training means your dog will be trained as an individual. We don’t just look at the behaviour, we look at the complete picture of what makes dogs feel the way they do and subsequently behave the way they behave. We deliver meaningful, long-lasting results to dog owners by working as a team to make sure you not only understand your dog, but know how to work with them. It’s never too late to resolve problem behaviours and start a new chapter.
Puppy Plus Course
If your puppy is now older and approaching adolescence, this service will help you take your training to the next level. Now the foundational puppy training is done, you can begin to ask more of your puppy with behaviours such as stays, loose lead walking, breed-specific skills, place training and more advanced recall & neutrality. Your puppy training doesn’t end as soon as they finish their first puppy course or as soon as they don’t look tiny any more; this service will polish your foundational training nicely and help to see you through adulthood without any pesky problems. Undertaking this course will not only teach you more advanced behaviours, but also help you to generalise behaviours already learnt to more and more environments, broadening your puppy’s horizons.
