Residential dog training in Essex, for dogs UK-wide

• Your training is planned by Alex, World Champion dog trainer. Alex and his small team train your dog to Alex's plan; he assesses your dog first and does the handover himself.
• Over 15 years, more than 10,000 dogs, from puppies to reactive, aggressive and working dogs.
• World Champion dog trainer: RSV World Championship, Korbach, October 2025, with Banzai (293 points).
• Master Dog Trainer, approved by the Guild of Dog Trainers.

The training doesn't stay at the field. We take dogs into busy, real-world places: town centres, shops, parks, and around traffic, people and other dogs. That way what your dog learns works on your own streets and walks, not only in a quiet field.

Standard and Puppy Package dogs stay in our 5-star kennels; on the VIP Package your dog stays in the home.

• Collection is optional. If you'd rather not do the drive, we can collect your dog from home and bring it back at the end. The cost depends on where you are and is quoted when you enquire.
• Safe travel: dogs travel in secure crates in our vehicle, for collection and for every trip out to training locations.

Aggressive dogs and dogs that have bitten

Growling, snapping, or a bite at home or on walks. For behaviour problems like this we suggest four weeks: daily work gives Alex time to change the behaviour, not just manage it. Tell him about any bite history in the form so he can plan safely. More on aggressive dog training.

Reactive dogs

Barking and lunging at other dogs or people on the lead, like the Doberman above. For reactivity we suggest four weeks. Residential means the work happens every day, in real places, to Alex's plan. More on reactive dog training.

Puppies: the residential Puppy Package

Toilet training, manners and the core commands, with a handover so you carry on at home. Puppy Package £850p/w, 1 Update Per Week; for puppies we suggest four weeks. More on puppy training.

Breeds owners travel with

German Shepherds · Belgian Malinois · Labradors · Cocker and Springer Spaniels. We train every breed, from toy breeds to large German Shepherds.

International clients are welcome. If your dog or puppy has to wait in the UK until it's old enough to be exported, it can stay for residential training before flying abroad; you arrange the export paperwork with your vet and pet-travel agent.

• Telephone/training advice: a one-hour session with Alex is £100, wherever you live.
• Continuation 1-2-1 sessions when you're back nearby: £100 an hour at our Chelmsford field, £120 an hour at home. In-home costs more because it accounts for fuel and travel time.
• Holiday stays: once your dog has done a residential course, they can come back to Alex while you're away, with their training topped up. Past residential dogs only, price on request. Read about holiday stays for trained dogs.
