Not all dogs are suitable for residential training in our set up.  We are unable to take dogs with aggression issues (dog or people) as we have our own dogs and this is their home.  Separation issues - dogs with separation anxiety are not suitable for residential training. Please contact us to discuss in more detail if you think your dog may have separation anxiety.

Do you offer owner training?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, this is an essential part of the training. Owner training is available either during the stay or as a handover at the end.  You'll be taught the skills needed to continue with your dogs training once home, so that you can achieve long term success.
 
This is fully supported by access to online training videos for you to refer back to.

Question 7

Do you guarante your training?

Accepted Answer

Every dog is different based on their age, breed, personality, previous learning history and environment. They all learn at very different paces and no two dogs can be compared.
It is important to note that the training we put in place is foundations only. You will need to commit to continuing your dog's training, so that the training becomes more reliable and understood in multiple envrionments. As long as you are committed to putting the time into your owner training, then we are committed to putting time into your training too!
 
Residentail training helps boost your training and gives you a head start, if you don't want to put any further effort into the training once home, then we are not the right option for you. 
 
All dog training is on going if you want reliable consistent behaviours.
