As it says on the tin! We spend time with YOU the owner and your dog. The initial session is more of an evaluation allowing us to look at you the handler and your dog. From this we can work through a training program to achieve the best results.
​
They are non pressured training sessions and we aim for you and your dog to leave happy and confident of your next success with your dog.
Residential Training
​
Our residential training program is suitable for all. We take our time speaking with you the owners in order to assess how you interpret your dog and how you wish them to interpret you. Whether it be correcting faults in the field or taking a raw recruit and preparing them for their first foray.
Our facilities are kept immaculately clean at all times, and we have indoor and outdoor living accommodation- dogs can be bedded down on their own bedding or we can supply bedding.We spend each and every day with the dogs in training - giving them our utmost attention and working towards the end goal as discussed at the outset.

Obedience Training
​
One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is "How do we get our dog to walk to heel" Training any dog to do this takes a little time and patience - However we have tried and tested methods suitable to all breeds that allows us to show you the simplest and most effective means of achieving the "Heel" with rates of success in the region of 98% we are happy to assist you in achieving the "Heel". See our HEEL MEANS HEEL! page for more information.
We can also advise and assist in all areas of obedience - taking an unruly dog and using calm and concise methods we help to prevent this unruly behaviour.
