01 · Best for one or two stubborn habits
Basic course
A focused week for the habits that make every walk hard work. Your dog has five days of intensive training on up to two behaviours, such as pulling on the lead, a recall that falls apart, or jumping up at visitors.
Short, frequent sessions with the same trainer every day do in a week what a few hour-long lessons struggle to do in months. At the handover your trainer shows you the same handling, so the new habit carries on at home.

02 · Best for all-round obedience and puppies
Standard course
Our all-round course. Ten training days give your trainer time to work on up to four behaviours, including recall around distractions and on-lead reactivity, or general obedience across the board.
It is the course we recommend for puppies and young dogs who need good manners everywhere, and for dogs who are fine at home but lose their heads around other dogs on the lead.

03 · Best for working breeds and bigger problems
Advanced / Working Breeds course
Designed for more specific and severe behavioural issues. Fifteen training days on dog reactivity, resource guarding, aggressive on-lead reactivity or excessive barking, with general obedience included.
It is also the course we usually recommend for high-drive working breeds such as spaniels, Labradors and shepherds, who need impulse control as much as obedience. You get lifetime support and a 5-day refresher stay in the first year, where only boarding fees apply.

04 · Best for serious reactivity and aggression
Reactivity course
Designed to deal with the most severe behaviours: reactivity towards people and aggression towards other dogs. Twenty training days give our trainers the longest time with your dog and the best chance of success, and general obedience is included.
We will be honest about what is realistic before you book. After the course you get lifetime support and a free 5-day top-up training stay in the first year.

Which course is right for my dog?
Start with the problem
This is how our office team usually matches dogs to courses. Every dog is different, so we will talk it through with you before you book.
| If your dog… | We usually recommend | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Pulls on the lead, jumps up, ignores a sit or down | Basic (5 training days) | One or two behaviours can be transformed in a focused week. |
| Needs all-round obedience, or is a puppy | Standard (10 training days) | Up to four behaviours, including recall around distractions. |
| Lunges or barks at dogs on the lead | Standard or Advanced | On-lead reactivity starts on Standard; stronger reactivity needs longer. |
| Guards food or toys, barks excessively, or is a high-drive working breed | Advanced / Working Breeds (15 training days) | Designed for more specific and severe behavioural issues. |
| Reacts to people, or is aggressive with other dogs | Reactivity (20 training days) | The longest stay gives our trainers the best chance of success. |
| Toilets indoors, chews, or only struggles at home | Not a residential course | These are best solved at home. We will tell you honestly. |
Residential vs weekly lessons
Why a week with us beats a few hour-long sessions
Dog training is a two part process, and both parts are equally important: training the dog, then teaching you.
| A few one-to-one lessons | A residential course | |
|---|---|---|
| Training time | About an hour a week | 3–5 sessions every day, 15–40 minutes each |
| Consistency | Depends on practice between visits | Same trainer, same rules, every day |
| Where | Your home or the local park | Licensed kennels and training fields, then your home |
| Teaching you | During each lesson | An hour-long one-to-one handover plus a written plan |
| After | Book more lessons | Lifetime support included |

Course questions
How much does your course cost?
Our intensive training courses start at £745 per week, fully inclusive. A non-refundable deposit is taken at the point of booking to secure your dates. These fees are a one off and include our lifetime of support.
How long is the course?
The course is flexible in length, with a minimum stay of 5 days. Dogs often stay longer; it depends on what training level you are looking to achieve. Our four courses cover 5, 10, 15 or 20 training days.
Can a dog be trained in 2 weeks?
Two weeks (our Standard course: 10 training days in a 12-day stay) is enough to make solid progress on up to four behaviours, such as lead walking, recall around distractions or on-lead reactivity. Whether it sticks depends on you carrying on at home, which is what the handover lesson and written training plan are for.
Can residential training fix reactivity?
Reactivity can be greatly reduced. On-lead reactivity is covered from the Standard course. For dog reactivity, resource guarding and aggressive on-lead reactivity we recommend the 15-day Advanced course; for people reactivity and dog aggression, the 20-day Reactivity course gives our trainers the best chance of success. We will always be honest about what is realistic for your dog.
Can you train puppies?
Yes. Puppy training is part of our Standard course. Your puppy must be vaccinated before any kennel stay, so tell us their age when you enquire and we will advise on timing.
What does a training day look like?
Three to five training sessions lasting anything from 15 to 40 minutes, depending on your dog's focus, plus two walks, socialisation and enrichment, and lots of treats and cuddles from our team.
Do I really get a lifetime of training and support?
Quite simply, yes. Any dog that has attended one of our residential courses is entitled to a lifetime of free support from our team. After a 5-day stay that is digital support by email or phone; after 10 days or more it includes one-to-one sessions back at the facility with your trainer. Compare that with a few sessions with a local trainer.
What happens if I need to cancel?
The deposit is non-refundable. Cancel 14 days or more before your start date and there are no further fees. Within 14 days, 50% of the programme fee remains payable; within 72 hours, or if your dog does not arrive, the full fee remains payable.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
We provide everything from leads and collars through to beds. We suggest you bring your own food so your dog experiences no change in their routine. If your dog is on a special diet, medication or supplements, bring enough to cover the stay, and please do not forget the vaccination records: we cannot book your dog in without them.
Do you use positive training methods?
Yes. Our training is positive and results-based, in a fun, engaging environment, which means we not only get results but have great fun doing so.
