Why we started

Born out of frustration

MyDogsTrainer was born through a frustration in the quality of dog training on offer in the UK. The market is saturated with one-to-one trainers offering home or local park based, hour-long sessions. An hour a week rarely changes a habit your dog practises every day.

So we built the opposite: short, frequent, positive sessions with the same trainer every day, at a licensed kennel with proper training fields, for as long as your dog needs.

How it works

Two parts, equally important

Part one: we train your dog

3–5 sessions a day of 15–40 minutes, set by how well your dog is focusing, with two walks, socialisation and enrichment on top. Positive, results-based training in a fun, engaging environment.

Part two: we train you

At collection your trainer shows you everything your dog has learned, then hands you the lead for an hour-long one-to-one lesson. You leave with a written training plan and a lifetime of support.

What we stand by

Six things we will not compromise on

Positive, results-based

We get results and have great fun doing so. Training should be something your dog enjoys.

Licensed kennels

Each of our training sites is operated from fully licensed kennel facilities.

Experienced trainers

Your dog is matched with one experienced trainer who stays with them all the way through.

You stay in the loop

Photos, videos and your trainer’s direct line for the whole stay.

Honest advice

If residential training is the wrong tool, such as for toilet training or chewing, we will say so.

Support for life

Every dog that attends a residential course is entitled to a lifetime of free support from our team.

Our trainers, in owners' words

Reviewers regularly name their trainer: Beth, Aaron, Maisie and Caitlin come up again and again.

His instructor Beth was so patient, knowledgeable and great with communicating with us about Enzo.

Karolia M. · Sep 2026 · Enzo

Aaron did an amazing job not just with Nico our 3 year old Cane Corso. But also with the updates about him while he was away.

Connor M. · Sep 2026 · Nico, Cane Corso

He was very kind and obviously patient and made a positive change to my dog's behaviour.
