Our dog training services are built on a foundation of positive reinforcement and modern, science-based methods, ensuring a kind and effective approach for both you and your dog.

Our Training Philosophy: Positive, Force-Free & Effective

Our approach is simple: we teach you how to communicate with your dog in a way they understand, using rewards to encourage the behaviours you want. This positive reinforcement method creates a fun and engaging learning experience, building trust and respect without the need for aversive tools or techniques. We focus on:

  • Understanding Your Dog: We take the time to understand your dog’s individual needs, temperament, and learning style.
  • Building a Strong Bond: Our training is designed to foster a deep, trusting relationship between you and your dog.
  • Real-World Skills: We focus on practical, everyday commands and behaviours that matter most in your home and out in the community.

Our Dog Training Services

We offer a range of services tailored to meet the needs of every dog and owner, from our base in Sandbach to clients across Cheshire and Greater Manchester.

1. Puppy Training Classes (The Perfect Start) 🐶

Giving your puppy the best possible start in life is crucial. Our puppy training classes in Sandbach focus on creating a well-socialised and confident young dog. In a safe and controlled environment, we cover essential life skills including:

  • Socialisation: Positive exposure to new sights, sounds, and other puppies.
  • Basic Obedience: Sit, down, stay, and recall.
  • Crate Training & House Training.
  • Bite Inhibition.

Our puppy classes are a fantastic way to bond with your new addition and set them up for a lifetime of good behaviour.

2. 1-2-1 Bespoke Training

For specific behavioural challenges or for those who prefer individual attention, our one-to-one training sessions are the ideal solution. We work with you and your dog in your own home or a location of your choice to tackle issues such as:

  • Recall problems
  • Loose-leash walking
  • Jumping up
  • Excessive barking
  • General obedience

This personalised approach allows us to create a training plan that is uniquely tailored to your dog and your family’s lifestyle, ensuring lasting results.

3. Behavioural Consultations

For more serious or complex issues, our behavioural consultations provide in-depth support. We work with dogs experiencing more significant challenges like:

  • Separation anxiety
  • Aggression or reactivity
  • Resource guarding
  • Fear and anxiety

Our experienced and qualified trainers will conduct a thorough assessment, work with you to understand the root cause of the behaviour, and develop a comprehensive plan to help your dog feel safe and confident again. We always recommend getting a referral from your vet for these services.


What Our Clients Say
