Teach the behaviours you want
Gain confidence for you and your dog
Build a stronger bond with your dog

The key to successful training and a happy dog is your relationship with them.

If your bond is strong, the rest comes easy.

Training develops the bond and relationship between you and your dog. By spending time training your dog, you will learn to communicate with each other better, to solve problems and overcome challenges you face.

Training Designed Around You

We understand that every dog and every guardian is unique. That's why we offer a range of flexible training options designed to fit different needs, lifestyles and goals. We'll help you find the right path for you and your dog.

Lifelong Training and Learning

Our dogs are constantly learning and changing, and whilst puppy training gives them a great start, the key to a calm, confident, happy dog is to continue their education throughout their life.

We provide training journeys suitable from puppy through to senior dogs, from beginners to advanced levels.

Tess Rescue


Training for Rescue Dogs

The bond that forms between you and your rescue dog is something very special. However, your newly adopted dog can take time to adapt to their new life and may need a little extra support.

That's why we offer a special 20% rescue dog discount on 1 to 1 training sessions. What's more, because animal rescue charities do such STELLAR work, we donate 10% of the fee back to the charity you adopted from.

What training methods do you use?

We use ethical training methods to ensure animal welfare is our first consideration. We only use positive and force free methods, equipment and training aids and adhere to the ABTC and PACT codes of conduct. We keep up-to-date with the latest scientific studies, research and publications to ensure all our methods are science-based. 

We do not use or recommend any aversive techniques or equipment. If you are currently using any aversive equipment with your dog and would like to discuss alternatives, please get in touch. We are non-judgemental and can help you find a kinder, more effective way of training.
