What are you struggling with?
Every dog is different. Choose the behaviour you’re seeing and we’ll show your path to success.
Pulling on walks
Pulling is often caused by a lack of structure, unclear expectations, or too much excitement on walks.
How We Help
We teach clear leash communication and impulse control. With reliable obedience in place, your dog learns to walk calmly beside you, even around distractions.
Board and Train (2-4 Weeks)
Board and Train programs (2-4 weeks) teach leash communication clearly and consistently in a structured countryside environment. Dogs are proofed on supervised town trips, and owner coaching follows at the end to ensure you can maintain results.
Alternatively, On Leash Private sessions (6 weeks) provide weekly coaching where you train your dog at home with our guidance, or our On Leash Group Class (6 weeks) for non-reactive dogs comfortable in group settings.
Not coming back when called
A dog that doesn't recall reliably often lacks impulse control, motivation, or clarity around expectations.
How We Help
We build strong engagement and reliable recall under increasing levels of distraction. Your dog learns that coming when called is non-negotiable.
Board and Train (4-6 Weeks)
Board and Train programs (4-6 weeks) teach recall with clarity and repetition in a structured countryside environment. Distractions are introduced progressively, and dogs are proofed in real-world settings through supervised town trips. Owner coaching follows at the end to transfer skills to you.
Alternatively, Private sessions (6 weeks) provide weekly coaching where you train your dog at home with our guidance. Progress depends on your consistency between sessions.
Reactive towards dogs or people
Reactivity is often rooted in fear, frustration, or lack of structure. Without intervention, it can escalate and make daily life stressful.
How We Help
We address the root causes through structured obedience, impulse control, and controlled exposure to triggers. Your dog learns to remain calm and focused around distractions.
Board and Train 4-8 Weeks or Private Training Package (6 Weeks)
Board and Train programs (4-8 weeks) give your dog the time and structure needed to break reactive habits. Exposure to triggers is gradual and strategic, and dogs are proofed in public settings through supervised town trips. Owner coaching follows at the end to ensure you can handle your dog confidently.
Alternatively, our Private Training Package (6 weeks) provides weekly sessions where we coach you to manage and train your dog at home. Progress depends on your ability to implement techniques consistently between sessions.
Rescue dog behaviour
Rescue dogs often come with unknown histories, inconsistent training, or lack of structure. Without clear guidance, these behaviours can persist or worsen.
How We Help
We provide structure, consistency, and clear communication to help your rescue dog settle into a confident routine and build reliable obedience.
Board and Train (4-8 weeks)
Board and Train programs (4-8 weeks) give rescue dogs the foundation they may have missed. Expectations are clear, routines are consistent, and trust is built through fair handling. Dogs are proofed in real-world environments through supervised town trips. Owner coaching follows at the end to help you maintain progress.
Alternatively, our Private Training Package (6 weeks) provides weekly sessions where we coach you to train your dog at home. Progress depends on your consistency and ability to provide structure between sessions.
Resource guarding
Resource guarding happens when a dog feels the need to protect food, toys, or spaces. It's often rooted in insecurity or unclear boundaries.
How We Help
We teach your dog that giving up resources leads to positive outcomes. Through structured obedience and controlled exercises, your dog learns to trust you and respond calmly.
Board and Train (6-8 Weeks)
Board and Train programs (6-8 weeks) address guarding behaviours through controlled exercises that build trust and impulse control in a structured environment. Dogs are proofed in real-world settings to ensure reliable behaviour holds. Owner coaching follows at the end to ensure safe handling at home.
Alternatively, our Private Training Package (6 weeks) provides weekly sessions where we coach you to address guarding behaviours at home. This requires careful management and consistent implementation between sessions.
Anxiety / fear-based behaviour
Anxiety and fear often stem from lack of confidence, unclear expectations, or past experiences. Without structure, these behaviours can limit your dog's quality of life.
How We Help
We build confidence through clear communication, predictable routines, and controlled exposure to trigger situations. Your dog learns to navigate the world calmly.
Board and Train (6-8 Weeks)
Board and Train programs (6-8 weeks) provide the structured environment and consistent handling needed to build confidence and reduce stress. Dogs are gradually exposed to real-world environments through supervised town trips as confidence grows. Owner coaching follows at the end to help you maintain calm, confident behaviour.
Alternatively, our Private Training Package (6 weeks) provides weekly sessions where we coach you to build your dog's confidence at home. Progress depends on your ability to provide consistent structure and management between sessions.
Aggression / bite risk
Aggression is a serious behaviour that requires professional intervention. It can stem from fear, frustration, or unclear boundaries.
How We Help
We assess the root cause and build a foundation of clear communication, impulse control, and reliable obedience. Your dog learns to respond calmly under pressure.
Board and Train (6-8 Weeks)
Board and Train programs (6-8 weeks) provide intensive, professional intervention in a controlled environment. Triggers are managed, boundaries are taught clearly, and dogs are gradually proofed in real-world settings. Owner coaching follows at the end to ensure safe handling and control.
Alternatively, our Private Training Package (6 weeks) provides weekly sessions where we coach you to manage aggressive behaviour at home. This requires careful management, strict safety protocols, and consistent implementation between sessions.
Chewing / destruction
Destructive behaviour is often caused by boredom, anxiety, or unclear boundaries. Without intervention, it can become a costly and frustrating habit.
How We Help
We teach impulse control, provide structured routines, and establish clear boundaries. Your dog learns to settle calmly and respect household rules.
Board and Train (3-6 Weeks)
Board and Train programs (3-6 weeks) give your dog the structure needed to break bad habits. Routines are predictable, boundaries are clear, and impulse control is taught consistently. Dogs are proofed in real-world settings to ensure reliable behaviour holds. Owner coaching follows at the end to help you maintain calm behaviour at home.
Alternatively, our Private Training Package (6 weeks) provides weekly sessions where we coach you to address destructive behaviours at home. Progress depends on your ability to manage the environment and maintain consistent structure between sessions.
Overexcitement and lack of focus
Overexcitement and lack of focus are often caused by unclear expectations or too much stimulation without guidance. These behaviours can make daily life chaotic.
How We Help
We teach impulse control, focus, and calm behaviour through structured obedience. Your dog learns to settle, listen, and respond reliably in stimulating environments.
Board and Train (3-6 Weeks)
Board and Train programs (3-6 weeks) build calm, focused behaviour through clear expectations and consistent handling. Dogs are proofed in busy, distracting environments through supervised town trips. Owner coaching follows at the end to help you maintain focus and calmness.
Alternatively, On Leash Private sessions (6 weeks) provide weekly coaching where you train your dog at home with our guidance. Progress depends on your consistency between sessions.
Structure First.

- A regular leash and a flat collar (or harness)
- High-value treats (if food-motivated)
- Your dog’s favourite toy (if toy-motivated)

We maintain clear routines and management to keep dogs safe, calm, and cared for during their stay.
- Structured, supervised care
- Available for many dogs, including those with behavioural challenges

Is my dog too old to be trained?

We’ll adjust expectations and training pace based on mobility, energy levels, and prior learning history.
- Training can improve quality of life at any age
- We tailor intensity and duration for senior dogs
- Consistency at home makes a big difference
What training tools do you use (prong collars, e-collars, treats, etc.)?
The tools we use depend on your dog’s needs, your goals, and what helps your dog learn most clearly.
We’ll explain any tool we recommend, teach you how to use it safely, and ensure it’s appropriate for your dog.
- Common tools: slip leads, toys, food rewards
- When needed: prong collars and e-collars (introduced carefully)
- Focus on clarity, safety, and confidence—not force
What vaccines/health requirements are needed to attend training or boarding?
For the safety of all dogs, we require up-to-date core vaccines and preventative care.
Please bring proof from your vet (or email it ahead of time) so we can confirm your dog is cleared to participate.
- Rabies
- Bordetella
- Distemper & Parvo
- Tick medication (when in season)
Which program is best: private sessions, group classes, or Board & Train?
It depends on your schedule, goals, and how quickly you need change. We’ll recommend the option that matches your dog and your lifestyle.
Board & Train is often the fastest route to reliable change, while private sessions and small groups work well when you want to be hands-on throughout.
- Board & Train: fastest results + owner coaching included
- Private lessons: flexible scheduling and calm learning environment
- Group classes: reliability around distractions (small groups)
What training methods do you use?
We tailor training to your dog’s temperament, learning style, and goals. Our focus is building a strong relationship and a clear communication system between you and your dog.
We use a balanced approach that blends structure, engagement, and motivation—so your dog understands what to do, even around distractions.
- Customized plans (no one-size-fits-all)
- Clear communication and consistency
- Practical “real life” training, not just drills
