Professional Dog Training throughout the UK
At The Dog Guy, there’s one thing that gets us out of bed in the morning, and that is improving the lives of both dogs and their owners, via our specialist dog training throughout the UK. All too often, unruly dogs do not lead their best life because their owners frequently become upset and frustrated with them. This is upsetting for both the family and the dog, and we’re here to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Happy pets,
happy humans
We are true engineers of behavioural change in dogs. Whatever shape, size, age or breed, we have helped countless dogs with our UK dog training become better behaved, and become integral parts of their families, massively improving their quality of life. Our reputation precedes us, and we take an agile, mobile approach, constantly improving our service and training to ensure we remain the best in the business, and help the dogs we see as much as we can.
Our highly trained and dedicated team, over the duration of our dog training courses, deliver a solid foundation of general obedience and discipline to ensure you get the best from your beloved dog. Dog training requires repetition, consistency, and reward to ensure that desired outcomes are achieved. We know what it takes, and all you need to do is let us help resolve any challenges you face with your dog to ensure live a happy life together, side by side.
How to train a dog
We offer a number of bespoke training options. To achieve the best results, we always recommend our Residential Dog Training solution. However, One to One Dog Training at our facility or in your home is also available. Our qualified trainers and behaviouralists will work with you to determine which solution best suits your needs.
The commands we use here at The Dog Guy include, but are not limited to: Sit, Down, Place, Here (Recall), Heel, Bed, Verbal Markers (Yes, No, Good Boy/Girl) and many more.

FAQ’s
This is ultimately down to the needs of your dog. Our residential training programme is designed to achieve the best results over an intensive period of training. The 3 to 4 weeks of training allows your dog to concentrate on learning new behaviours with consistency without distraction. Dog owners often look to residential training when other methods have failed, or they simply don’t have the time and ability to build a strong dog foundation of obedience for their dog.
If you’re not sure, then a member of our expert team will guide you towards the most suitable training package. They will discuss your dog’s needs, any current challenges, your ability to commit to training and your budget. We are confident we have a training solution that is right for you – nobody leaves us without a solution!
The simple answer is it is never too early or too late for your dog to be trained. We can train a dog one week after its second vaccination, and sooner if we are training within the home.
We often train multiple dogs from the same household. In fact, the only way to resolve some behavioural challenges is to train siblings at the same time.
You will be invited to an in-depth handover session at the end of training. This session allows us to show you the tools and techniques used to train your dog before giving you the opportunity to demonstrate to us you have taken everything on board. We even provide a short video of your dog in training to act as a future point of reference. If required, we can offer additional one to one support either in your home or our training facility to re-enforce training.
We begin training all dogs at our training field, as this is a secure environment that we can control. However, as dogs live in the real world, we quickly move training to different environments such as parks, towns and cafes to expose them to all the sights, sounds and smells they will experience once home.
