Residential training
Done for you. Your dog stays with us and trains every day to Alex's plan, then we hand back a calmer, better-behaved dog and show you how to keep it going.
- Best for: busy owners, behaviour problems that need daily work, and dogs that need a reset
- Benefits: come home to a calmer, better-behaved dog; problems sorted without you finding time every day; manners that hold up on real walks; training planned by a World Champion dog trainer
- What's included: daily training at our field and in real places, regular updates throughout the stay, and a handover session when you collect
- How long: usually 3 weeks, or 4 for puppies and behaviour cases
