Our trainers focus on building positive relationships with each dog, using methods that encourage learning in a supportive environment. We offer various training programs, including:

• Puppy School: Laying the groundwork for young pups through socialisation and basic commands.
• Canine Coaching: A great way to add extra enrichment and training to your dog’s boarding stay. Choose as many or as few days as you like.
• Board & Train: Our most popular intensive training program. Your dog stays with us for 16-25 days, depending on the outcomes you want to achieve, and works with a dedicated trainer on improving their behaviours.

In order to get the most out of your training experience, we always recommend talking to our trainers about what outcomes you’re hoping to achieve with your dog. That way, we can recommend the best program for you and your dog.

We do require that all dogs are up to date with their vaccinations (C5 or equivalent) before starting any adult training program, and we do not take dogs on heat across any of our locations. Puppies can join us for Puppy School 10 days after their second puppy vaccine.

Our trainers are dedicated to building positive relationships with dogs, fostering trust and encouraging good behaviour.

Our Board & Train Program includes training sessions that frequently take place off-site, in real-world environments. This approach ensures that your dog practices their newly learned skills in everyday scenarios, making the transition smoother when they leave our facilities and encounter similar situations in daily life.

We believe in the effectiveness of consistency and positive reinforcement, making the training process enjoyable and rewarding for your dog. You’ll receive regular updates and supplementary modules to assist your learning, so you’ll always know how your dog is doing and what to practice at home.

Consistent practice at home is key to reinforcing what your dog learns in our training programs. Our programs aren’t designed to be a quick fix for your dog, rather to help you understand your dog’s behaviours and give you the tools to manage their behaviour. This is crucial to building lifelong skills in your dog and to improve the relationship between you and your dog.
