What types of dogs do you work with?

We work with all types of dogs, from puppies to adults, regardless of breed or size. Whether you're dealing with behavioral issues, basic obedience, or just want a better relationship with your dog, our programs are designed to meet each dog's unique needs. Every dog is different, and we tailor our training to suit their personality and challenges.

Will the results last?

Yes, the results will last! We focus on creating lasting behavior change by not only training your dog but also equipping you with the tools and knowledge to continue the progress at home. Plus, with our lifetime guarante we’ll be there to help you get back on track. Our goal is to ensure you and your dog enjoy long-term success and a strong, positive relationship.

Where will my dog be staying?

Your dog will stay in our trainer’s home, where they’ll be treated like part of the family. This home-from-home environment ensures your dog feels comfortable, relaxed, and secure—just like they would in your own home. There are no kennels, just a stress-free, supportive space for your pup to thrive while receiving expert training.

Are your trainers qualified?

Yes, our trainers are highly qualified and very experienced. Certification varies by trainer, but each one has specialised expertise in different areas of dog behavior, ensuring we can address everything from basic obedience to more complex behavioral issues. With years of hands-on experience and a genuine passion for dogs, you can trust your pup is in skilled, caring hands.

What training methods do you use?

We use positive, reward-based reinforcement methods tailored to each dog's unique needs. Our training follows the LIMA principle (Least Invasive, Minimal Adversity), meaning we always choose the most effective and least stressful approach for your dog. In simple terms, this means we prioritize techniques that are gentle, effective, and stress-free—never using prong or e-collars.

What if training doesn't work?

We’re confident in our methods, but if the training doesn’t work as expected, we’re here to help. With our lifetime guarantee, if any behaviors resurface we’ll continue working with you and help guide you forward. Our goal is your dog’s success, and we’re committed to making sure you achieve long-term results.

Will the commands work for me?

Yes, the commands will work for you! While your dog will learn with the trainer, we also coach you throughout the process to ensure you’re confident using the commands at home. We provide a comprehensive handover, including step-by-step guidance, so you can continue the success of the program and maintain consistent results with your dog long after training is complete.

What age is best to train?

Training can be beneficial at any age! Puppies can start learning as early as 8 weeks old, while adult dogs, even seniors, can benefit from training too. The earlier you start, the easier it is to establish good habits, but it's never too late to improve your dog's behavior. Whether it's basic obedience or addressing behavioral issues, our programs are tailored to suit dogs of all ages.
