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.
