🐾 Spot's Transformation Journey! 🐾

After four weeks of residential training with us, Spot is now heading home with some incredible progress! When he first joined us, his excessive barking—both at home and during walks—was a real challenge for his family.

Through our fully customised residential training, we focused on Spot's specific needs:

✅Building calmness: Helping him enter new spaces and be let off the lead without immediately barking.
✅Improving self-control: Teaching him to handle exciting and anxiety-inducing environments with ease.
✅Enhancing recall: Now, he responds super quickly, even in the busiest London parks!
✅Instilling good habits: Spot can now settle on a bed on cue, reducing those counter-surfing moments during meal prep.

Want to see Spot's transformation in action? Click the link to watch his training video and learn how our personalised approach can work wonders for your dog too!

🐶 Ready for your own dog's breakthrough? 🐶

This year, give your furry friend the gift of transformation with a training program that's as unique as they are. Our residential stays are completely tailored to each dog's individual needs—just like Spot's!

Book your dog's training session today and set them on the path to success.

Well done, Spot! We can’t wait to see how far you’ll go next.

Senga the Labrador puppy has just arrived for 2 weeks of residential training, and her owners wanted to give her the best possible start in life.

So far, Senga has mostly stayed in the countryside and hasn’t had much experience with new places, people, or walking on a lead, so we’ll be gently introducing her to positive socialisation and new environments to build her confidence.

She also loves to jump on people, which is cute now—but as she grows into a big, strong dog, it could become a real challenge. By working on this early, we’re preventing it from becoming a habit!

During her stay, we’ll also focus on:

✅ Recall – coming when called, even around distractions
✅ Basic obedience – sit, down, stay, and polite lead walking
✅ Good house manners – settling, impulse control, and reducing puppy biting

It’s so much easier to teach the right habits from the start than to undo problem behaviours later! If you want to set your puppy up for success, our residential training can give them the best foundation for a well-mannered, confident future.

Obi the Cockapoo has just finished his 3-week residential stay, and the difference is incredible!

Before training, Obi’s walks were a stressful challenge—he was highly reactive to dogs, wildlife, and even passing foxes, making every outing overwhelming for his family.

Fast forward 3 weeks, and Obi now walks calmly and confidently in the woods, responds reliably when called, and can pass most dogs without reacting.

His family now has the skills and strategies to support him long-term, and walks are finally enjoyable again.

Training your dog at home can be tough, especially when behaviours are deeply ingrained. A residential stay with a professional trainer allows for faster, more effective results, making it much easier for owners to take over and maintain progress.

If you’re struggling with reactivity, recall, or general obedience, we’re here to help! Book your dog’s residential stay today and set them up for long-term success.

Freddie the Irish Terrier has just arrived for his two-week residential training stay, and his owners couldn’t be more excited for the transformation ahead!

Like many energetic dogs, Freddie’s enthusiasm sometimes gets in the way—jumping up at strangers, running off to greet people, pulling on the lead, and struggling with recall. These challenges can make everyday walks stressful and even pose a risk to his owners.

That’s where our 5-star-rated residential training programme comes in! With home-from-home boarding, positive reinforcement training, and full owner guidance, we’ll:

✔️ Build solid foundations for better obedience and calmer behaviour
✔️ Improve lead walking so owners enjoy stress-free walks
✔️ Strengthen recall so off-lead adventures are safe and enjoyable
✔️ Teach polite greetings and reduce jumping up
✔️ Work on house manners, reducing stealing, barking, and unwanted behaviours

Freddie’s journey is just beginning, and your dog could be next! Book now to secure a place and transform your dog’s behaviour with expert training and care.

We’re excited to welcome Cherry, the 10-month-old Vizsla, back for a 12-day top-up residential stay while her owners are on holiday! 🐾✨

We first met Cherry when she was just 4 months old, and it’s been amazing to see how much she’s grown. Now in her teenage phase, she’s become a little cheeky with her recall and focus, so we’ll be reinforcing those skills to keep her on track.

We’ll also be helping Cherry settle more easily in cafés and pubs, as she tends to get overexcited and struggles to relax. Plus, we’ll work on jumping up to greet everyone – she just can’t resist saying hello!

Top-up residential stays are a fantastic way to strengthen your dog’s training and stay on top of new behaviour struggles while you’re away.

Whether your dog needs a refresher on obedience, better impulse control, or confidence in different environments, a short stay can make a huge difference!

📩 Going on holiday soon? Book a top-up stay and return to a more focused, well-behaved dog!

Welcome back, Cherry! 🌟🐶

Woody, the 10-month-old Bull Lurcher, has joined us for three weeks of residential training! After spending six months of his short life in kennels, Woody was rescued just three months ago and is now learning how to navigate the world outside with confidence and better manners.

With limited early social experiences, Woody can be overexcited or unsure around other dogs, often stalking them and struggling to move on.

He also reacts to barking dogs and finds fast-moving objects like prams, bikes, and joggers overwhelming, responding with barking. We’ll be working on helping him feel calmer and more in control in these situations.

Woody also has difficulty settling unless he’s in a crate or kennel, so we’re teaching him to relax in the house, making future trips to cafés and pubs with his owners much easier.

Additionally, he struggles with frustration, which can lead to biting, nipping, and growling when things don’t go his way. Our focus will be on impulse control and emotional regulation to help him feel more secure and less reactive.

If your dog could benefit from tailored training in a structured, home-based environment, a residential stay might be the perfect opportunity!

Whether it’s confidence-building, socialisation, obedience, or overcoming behavioural challenges, we provide expert support to help dogs like Woody and yours thrive.

We’re thrilled to announce that Rudi, the 4 month old Labrador puppy has officially completed his two-week assistance dog residential training stay with us and is heading home today! 🎉🐾

It’s been such a joy to watch Rudi grow over the past couple of weeks. From building the basics of obedience to helping him feel comfortable and confident in different environments, he’s made incredible strides.

Rudi is well on his way to becoming the amazing assistance dog he’s destined to be, and we couldn’t be prouder of his progress.

Rudi can follow cues such as ‘sit’, ‘down’ and ‘middle’ even in busy locations. He can also heel around distractions such as dogs and people in different environments. His recall has made brilliant progress and he is able to recall away from many distractions, even when playing with other dogs.

A huge thank you to Rudi’s owners for trusting us with this important step in his journey. We know he’s going to be a wonderful companion,
supporting his owner with PTSD, and we can’t wait to hear about all the adventures they’ll have together!

Safe travels, Rudi – we can’t wait to see you continue to shine!

🐩 Watch Bilbo's Transformation! 🐩

Bilbo the poodle has just wrapped up his 3-week residential training, and his progress is incredible! A lively young pup, Bilbo used to get overwhelmed by all the excitement around him due to a lack of early experiences, leading to reactive behaviour.

During his stay, our team focused on helping Bilbo learn to observe and process his surroundings calmly and positively. Now, he enjoys more confident and relaxed walks, handles new sights and sounds with ease, and even interacts politely with other dogs. We've also worked on settling him better at home—goodbye to barking at the TV and other distractions!

After 4 weeks of residential training, Jäger is heading home to Scotland with some fantastic progress under his belt!

This lively and totally lovable boy arrived with a habit of pulling on the lead, jumping up, and getting a little too excited around strangers and dogs.

Over the past month, he’s worked hard on improving his loose lead walking, recall, impulse control, and general obedience—both at home and in busy public settings.

He’s learned to stay calmer and much more focused, even when distractions are high.
His manners have come a long way too, we are so proud of him. 💙

Now, it’s over to his owners to continue his training and reinforce everything he’s learned.

Well done, Jäger. Enjoy being back home and a very happy 1st birthday on Friday 🎊

Koro the Sheltie has finished his 4-week assistance dog residential stay, where he’s made great strides in his training.

As he is being trained to become an assistance dog, this stay has primarily focused on building his confidence and equipping him with essential coping skills.

While we’ve also worked on the Silver Award syllabus, Koro’s well-being has been the top priority to ensure he has the right temperament and resilience to be a suitable assistance dog in the future.

Over the last four weeks, Koro’s confidence has grown immensely, but he still has some way to go before he feels completely at ease in busy environments. We’ve taken the training at his pace, gradually exposing him to his triggers in a controlled and supportive way. He has learned to stay closer to his handler and move away together when needed, rather than seeking distance independently.

In addition to confidence-building, we’ve also focused on his general responsiveness on walks, introduced the cues for his Silver Award, and worked on settling calmly in cafés.

His family now has the skills to continue supporting his progress in the months ahead.

Cody the Australian Cobberdog has been with us for a 3 week assistance dog residential stay, working on sharpening her skills and building focus around distractions.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been practising her recall, lead walking, and settling in public spaces, as well as more advanced cues like Down from a distance, Emergency Stop, and Middle.

She’s made great progress and is so close to nailing everything! She still finds unknown dogs quite exciting, but with consistency and practice, she’ll keep improving.

Well done, Cody! Keep up the great work at home—we can’t wait to see how you get on!
