Puppy training in Aberdeenshire for dogs of all breeds and ages! Puppy training takes time, patience, understanding, calmness and consistency.
(67)

All our training is outside, in the place where you need to teach them to behave most! We have all breeds of dog come to class. Although you may not want to work your dog or have a working breed, we aim to achieve the same end result – an obedient and well behaved puppy having covered sit, stay, recall and heel work. All dog training classes are held on a farm ‘Wester Fintray’ just outside Kintore

which is beautiful setting. We have a range of private training ground available to us from the floodlit paddock which is a small fully enclosed area for younger dogs, to larger more open area for gundog work.

You know it has been a good session, when the dog that came for heel work training, has been walking so closely she has coated your leggings in hair. Well done Harriet the St Bernard!

*Training Obstacles* 🎯- *What’s Your Wee Training Woe?* 🤔

Let’s face it, training our dogs isn’t always a stroll in the park! Whether it’s our dreich weather, or the classic case of our own busy schedules, every dog owner has their struggles. So, tell us—what’s the biggest training challenge that has you scratching your head?

👇 *Cast your vote below and let us know your biggest training obstacle:*

- 🐕 *A) Distractions* ("Who needs to listen to the human when there are all these other dogs to play with!”)
- 🍿 *B) Consistency* ("I’d train today, but maybe I’ll just binge watch this Netflix series first.")
- ⏳ *C) Time Commitment* ("Training? After I’ve tackled everything other job I have on!")
- 🐾 *D) The Free Thinker* ("Commands are just suggestions, Right?”)

💬 *Share your stories below!* If you’ve got any tricks that work on even the most stubborn of our furry friends, let us know. Go on, dinna be shy!

**WPC Interactive Poll Series ** 🎯

**What’s Your Top Training Goal for your dog?** 🐾

Let’s be honest—sometimes our dogs train *us*! 😂 But in the moments when we're in charge (or at least pretending to be), we’ve all got that one training goal we’re trying to master. Whether it's teaching your dog not to pull you like they’re auditioning for the next sled dog race or simply getting them to *come back* after sprinting off like a Olympic athlete, we get it!

👇 **Cast your vote!** What's your dog’s top training challenge?

- 🐕 **A) Stop pulling on the lead** ("But human, I'm just trying to show you ALL the smells!")
- 🔔 **B) Improve recall** ("Come back? Why? I just got here!")
- 🐾 **C) Basic obedience (Sit, Stay, Stop etc.)** ("I'll sit... but only when I feel like it, deal?")
- 🐶 **D) Gundog basics (Retrieves, Directions, hunting etc. ** (Thanks for bringing me to the shoot human, I am now self employed from here!!)

💬 **Let us know in the comments how your training is going**—or share a funny story about your dog’s most “creative” training moments! 🐕‍🦺
